Hey Folks-
I'd like to do the long haul in the next 2 years -- what's it cost to do (no including breakage)?

Depending on what your driving/mpg! If you book hotels in advance or TRY and find them the night of the venue or not. It can vary a lot, I didn't spend a ton, but also got to stay with friends/family several nights. I think it was worth every cent though!

The tour is usually around 1200-1300 miles so you have that plus whatever the miles are to get to the start and then back home from the finish..I never book hotels in advance and always seem to find a good deal in every host city...too much planning takes the edge off the road trip buzz ... I like to just go and figure it out on the fly...except for Orlando in 06 as all of those were high priced..some folks camp out..I'm too old for sleeping on the ground and all that...you can spend a lot or a little just depends on how you do it.

We spent $600ish in fuel, and most of the hotels were free due to reward points from my job, but figure around 60-100 a night for hotel for 7 nights. It was worth every penny and then some. Will be doing it again next year!!!!

My brother and i did it for around $1,000 each, and we camped 5 of the nights. and each time we filled up we got around 20 mpg's. we drove 2700 miles from leaving our town to getting back to our town. and yes it was worth every penny :D.
