Cool. I see you're going to be in Holland, Michigan. Were you planning to stop at Eurohanger?

[LuckyHenriksen]

As a former MI resident, unless you have family there I would SKIP Detroit... Holland is nice as is most of the "big lakes" shore towns. It will add a day or more to your trip but Substitute Mackinac for detroit Then you can hit Travers city you will likely be a couple of weeks early for the cherry fest that is right after the 4th of july iirc. You can then run down the lake MI shore line and hit all the cool little towns and parks along the way, and you ought to get a kick out of sleeping bear dunes

I have always wanted to see Detroit, but I don't want to spend a lot of time there. We are going to Holland to visit one of our best friends for a few days. Thanks for the recommendations on things to see

It looks like you guys may be near the time of the Brodeo when you're in Asheville.

You should stop in. It's a damn good group of dudes and a bunch of fun roads to catch a ride on (Hint: Tail of the Dragon).

That sounds like a lot of fun, maybe we can get in on part of it!

I hadn't planed on stopping at Eurohangar but it would be awesome. We weren't going to be in Holland until the first weekend in July, maybe if our schedule changes we Will be able to make it

No Atlanta? Come on maaaaaaaaaaan!

Nashville is a pretty great destination city, and there are numerous good local breweries both in and near. Why Prattville? Family there?

We are going to Chattanooga to visit Lindsey's great uncle, he is some sort of crazy old gear head that I have always wanted to meet. We would like to see Nashville too, hopefully we can get up that direction.
Prattville is just on the map as a stopping place for a night, if we don't have a better option. There is a couple there who offered us a space on their property to park overnight. We are using a couple different RV websites that link up travelers and people who have space to park motorhomes. Thats where some of the random small towns on the map come from.
Also, our route is definitely not set in stone, we are hoping to meet people along the way who can give us some local insight and point out good places to visit and park overnight

While in Louisiana, go to Abita Springs - just north of New Orleans on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Take a tour of Abita Brewing Company and knock back a few at their brew pub.

Good stuff.
