Routes / Southern Tier starting in April
« on: March 12, 2014, 05:44:16 pm »So what I wanna ask is: are there any really problematic parts of the route? As far as I am informed the temparture will be quite high already, in general I didn't have any problems on my past tours in Europe at 80 to 90 °F (I am 29 years now and quite sporty). Also I may cross parts of the country on the second half of the trip with a high possibility of tornadoes and thunderstorms. What is also bothering me: I don't have experience with snakes and scorpions, but already read a lot about them. Is it really a big deal on the trip?
I read several journals and other ressources until now, but it would be great to hear some thoughts from this great board here. As you can see, I just have some ideas what will await me in the US and expanding my knowledge would be really great. What I'm also interested in: because of the sweating in the heat it would be perfect to get a shower each or every second day, how is the "shower-situation" in the us? is it usual for example to find showers or bathrooms at petrol stations like in many other countries?
looking forward to your responses!
