3 things they say not to invest in....RV, Boat, Airplane....all 3 are money pits that depreciate...have high maintenance costs and insurance liabilities that will make it nearly impossible to make a profit renting them.....I'm talking about the big RVs...not the mini Winnie's or Sunraders......rentals get abused ...people don't give a shit about caring for them if they rent them..you'd be much better off renting U haul trailers and moving trucks.
I'm pretty sure you can sleep in rest stops.
Sly and his followers will meet you there with a friendly greeting.
For God's sake, man, take the ladder down before you go on your trip. Here's a tip, fold up the tent before traveling.
Idaho weird? Really?
I've learned the hard way that when nature calls you'd better listen.
One of the thing I found interesting while road tripping is how each state approaches their rest areas. Oregon has very good freeways but the rest areas are pretty meh. A surprising number of states (Mid West and South in particular) have unspeakably shitty highways but their rest areas are Taj Mahals for travelers. They keep them manned, heated (or air conditioned) and spotless, with plenty of travel info readily available. They actually make you want to stick around (rather than get back on shitty roads that beat your car to death). You can’t help but wonder why they don’t put some of that money back into their roads……but then, these are the folks who voted for Trump and think COVID and the vaccine are government conspiracies………all that said, nice photo of the Baldock rest area (south of Wilsonville) that Sly posted above……..
Arizona has nice highways and outhouses for some of their border rest areas.
Alabama has great highways. Never used their rest areas nor Georgia's rest areas. Georgia also has very nice highways. Side roads in both states can be deplorable.
I don't really have a specific distance. Something that can be done in a day. I am actually more near Salem, but anywhere within an hour or two would be ideal. Think weekend trips.
