The Beginning of "It's A Trip"
"It's A Trip" is a ride/drive adventure on U.S. Route 20, which goes East to West across the country. Travel on Route 20 is an alternative to using the interstate highway system.
Going east to west, Route 20 begins in Boston Massachusetts near the Atlantic Ocean and ends in Newport, Oregon, near the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 3,365 miles, with side trips many, many more.
The Interstate Highway System is great if you want to go from point to point quickly. "It's A Trip's" approach is a much slower and interesting way to travel across the U.S. I have listed some benefits below.
1) More Interesting:
Instead of passing signs of things to see, you actually see those things themselves. Instead of getting off at exit numbers, you pass through actual towns, villages, people, businesses, farms, and everything else, that makes up daily life in
that part of America.

2) Scenic:
Drive through and around hills, streams, lakes, rivers, towns and roadside attractions. Enjoy the people, fairs, festivals and family fun. See much, much more than on the interstate.
3) Diverse:
Experience the changing geography and culture as you travel from area to area, experience first hand the changing landscape, businesses, restaurants and lodging. Stop whenever you want to - no waiting for rest areas!
4) Convenient:
Stop and rest when you want to. Have a snack, a walk through town or in the park. Experience the conveniences of home while you travel.
5) Less Expensive:
With more choices you can pay local prices and not be held captive to highway chain businesses, as well as - there are no tolls.
6) Adventure:
You never know what's coming next. Something new is around every corner. Experience the difference in people. Learn about new things. Lodging along the road not just at the "exits".
7) Fun:
It is a lot more fun to be on an adventure, than just "traveling".
It's the trip that is important, not just the destination! Come and join "It's A Trip". It will be the best TRIP of your life!
