Does Your PW Get Around? (Tour the States)

[2003F350]

Haven't managed to get more than 3 in almost 60k miles. Home state, Ohio, and Indiana. That's been it. Covid kinda kept us from doing the travelling this summer we'd planned on

Touring the US is not for everyone... but if I keep my current pace, then when I catch up to you at 60k on the OD, I should have seen 40 states. Or 1.3 new states a month as I have had my current PW for 15 months and I just rolled 31k on the odometer. I’m heading to Florida in January but I have been in my wagon in all the states between, so I will only add one to the list that trip.

With the Covid-19 spreading, it's definitely on our mind. It's fairly easy though around here with the Power Wagon to get far from anyone else for days on end. Our nearest major cities (population of 100,000 people) in all directions are between 220 to 800 miles with little to a whole lot of nothing population in between. If we're camping within a 3 to 4 hour drive of any major city, then we're too close.

Mine has only been in my home state of Michigan, but has made it to Canada once!

I did not realize how big Michigan was till it turned blue. But it looks like 2-3 hours and you could hit a few states. I stayed a night in Cincinnati Ohio, was the furthest north my Wagon has gone.

my old 1500 went pretty much to every state North/West of Texas. Havent had chance in the PW yet. just Colorado.

I would like to do a more eastern trip, since i have never been out east. i will get some states in eventually. This truck makes for an awesome road trip vehicle.

Providing you dont care about gas mileage lol

See, should have driven your wagon. You driven through NM to get to CO or KS and OK. So there is a few.

 

[LeesEvoX]

Oh I did drive the wagon. So, that mean I have done 5 states already.
TX
LA
NM
OK
CO

I'll be going on a road trip sooner or later. My buddy just got back from moab, so he made me jealous all over again.

Only four so far for me:
TN (home state)
KY
GA
NC

I've considered making a cross-country trip to Oregon to see family, so if we do that then I'll have a lot more states to add to the list.

Good list! How many miles on the OD?
The good thing about a small state, is you are 1hr drive to another state. It took me 9 hours to get out of TX last week. And that is east to north west. Like 27 counties. North to south, is like 2 days.

Maybe a “warm” vacation down south this winter is in the making?? I will take you to Hidden Falls by Austin. Then you would bag like 6-8 states easy.

Colorado even beat Florida and Texas in this 10/30/2020 of the best to worst states for winter, coming in at 47????

Maybe its great for someone who travels by flying to Denver and then just hops onto a shuttle to their ski resort. Mountain driving here in winter conditions can really suck and that might happen up to 9 months in any year. Stay "warm", drive to Texas.

Hunting and Fishing all over this beautiful country, while I still can and still allowed too..

I wish, right now we are trying to wrangle our 18mo old and we just brought our daughter home last week so its been interesting in this house lately. Definitely want to visit Texas sometime though

Hoping I can keep my wife talked into PWIM this spring [emoji1696]

If it’s even a thing. I figured Mike and JorDanée would need to have started planning it already.

Wow according to this article it sucks to live in Wisconsin and Michigan this time of the year. Sorry @olyelr
My guess would have been Alaska
