I think we should start to get some good sites posted on road maps. I know it is still a long ways off, but many of us (including myself) should start to figure out the distance and expenses.

Just a thought.

this site will allow you to plan a step by step and get a pictured map

 

I like www.mapquest.com

usually most sites over estimate the time expectancy of travel.

 

or is it that you drive with a heavy foot? lol
na, map times are always off anyway

 

http://maps.yahoo.com/py/ddResults.py?Pyt=Tmap

 

maps.com is a good one too

 

Everyone should try their best not to mapquest it.. Trust me. Their directions are jacked.. They'll give you the most complicated directions when there's always a much simpler way. If you're smart you'll buy an atlas and plan the route yourself, best way to do it.

 

I use a combo of both when I drive.
I've done the TX-NJ trip a few times, and a TX-denver trip also.
all in all I'd say it's better to stay on the interstates for the most part and worry when you get there on how you find the park. I'd beleve we should have directions buy that time.

i have two atlases (i know i butchered the spelling) that i'm using to plan the route for the ohio-pa-md leg of the trip.

cost me ~12 bucks at walmart for two rand-mcnally's

 

I bought a Road atlas at walmart, and I think I can make it pretty much all the way down using it, its was a good investment 7. 95 canadian, and alot more useful then a web site. The sites would be good to estimate distance, thats all I wanted them for.
