The other thing we did usually was camp instead of using motels. Camp grounds are usually cheaper and may have amenities like showers and rest rooms. There are even some free camp grounds, though those you may have to drive up to a rest stop from it for those amenities.<br /><br />I've roughed it many times for other reasons and usually sketched while I camped. I'd love to go again someday, especially with a group of artists. There's usually good painting opportunities right at the camp ground anyway, you're outdoors in the wilderness and might get in a plein air first thing as soon as there's light - while whoever in the group cooks best is fixing pancakes on a griddle... some really good memories in this!<br /><br />If you do use a motel, share it with friends, pack as many into the room as you can. It's not home, it's not normal life, it's better to relax and remember what it was like to be twenty and not worry so much about solitude. You'll have plenty of that after the trip is over. Life can get very simple on a trip and a lot more fun than you expect. robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.com
