@EAA 50 in the air and thousands more coming up I-41 the slow way. For the drive-in army: the campground's basically a town, the 2:15 show sets each day's clock, and basing along Lake Winnebago beats hunting a room in town this week. Road guide: https://t.co/PBtYrjlzmo
The fly-in gets the glory, but half that army drove to Oshkosh. Week-of intel for the road crowd: in-town rooms are scarce (base an hour out), the 2:15 show anchors every day, and a real 1950s drive-in sits half a mile off the flightline. https://t.co/PBtYrjlzmo
The Northeast's rooftop has been open to cars since 1861. The Mt Washington Auto Road climbs 4,650 ft in 7.6 miles - four climate zones, switchbacks above treeline, a summit that once clocked a 231-mph wind. The bumper sticker is earned. https://t.co/Gs07eU8Fzq
Every road trip you log on Roamward adds to a running map of states you've actually driven โ unlock badges as the tally grows. Watching your own footprint fill in is oddly addictive. Free to start: https://t.co/FohSOf5TTz
A near-mile-wide, 550-ft-deep bowl in the Arizona desert, punched out by an iron meteorite ~50,000 years ago. Best-preserved impact crater on Earth, and Apollo astronauts trained on its rim before the moon. Just off Route 66 east of Flagstaff. https://t.co/uGftbCBM2O
Ten vintage Cadillacs buried grille-first in a Texas field since 1974, wearing a fresh coat of spray paint every single day. Bring a can, tag a fin off old Route 66 - by morning someone's painted right over it.

@longhunter09 With kids: the Zahra Baker playground at Kiwanis Park is one of NC's best, splash pad nearby to soak them all. The Riverwalk boardwalk over Lake Hickory is a good stroll too. If the crew has hiking legs: Catawba Falls, 30 min before Hickory off I-40. https://t.co/lJUO74RR8v
Trail Ridge Road tops out above 12,000 ft โ the highest continuous paved road in any national park โ climbing through Rocky Mountain's wildflower tundra where elk graze the meadows below. Summer is the only window it's fully open. https://t.co/QMW3OryKb0
One 330-mile circle around a park with no roads through its middle: US 101 hands you three worlds in a weekend โ a mile-high ridge at Hurricane Ridge, the mossy Hoh Rain Forest, sea stacks at Ruby Beach. Peak season's now. https://t.co/r6aWBNRo57
@greggertruck Don't forget to spray off your condenser a couple of times per year, The outdoor dust can build up out there, especially during monsoon season.
@powerbottomdad1 This is exactly the trip we built Roamward for: scenic-over-fastest routing, verified detours, back-seat road-trip games, and a map that colors in every state the kids collect. Free on web.

@powerbottomdad1 Week 3: north through Bryce, past Salt Lake, up to the Tetons, and finish in Yellowstone like your map wants. Fly home from Bozeman. Two parks a week is the right pace with kids, everything else is a detour worth taking.
A jade-green pool under a collapsed limestone dome outside Austin, a waterfall dripping over the lip, ferns hanging from the grotto. Hamilton Pool is Texas hill-country magic in July - just grab the reservation before you drive out. โ https://t.co/Hy9aq6vdKk
Every summer, Franklin and Nashville load up and point it down I-65 โ ~7 hours to the sugar-white sand of 30A. We just mapped all 16 beach neighborhoods: Seaside, Alys, Rosemary, Grayton and more. Which 30A spot is your favorite? https://t.co/4kn9KNvr5E
