A guy in Massachussetts started a fundraiser in which he traveled to every town to drink a beer. His blog got hits. It could be an interesting way to use this endeavor for attention of philanthropic reasons. I think it was for children's cancer if I recall properly. From his research proprietors reached out to welcome him to visit and belly up to the bar.

Here's a story of his story.

And why stop at 49? Which did you choose to leave out and why? I've been punked.

Maybe it's a trip back in time between January and August 1959.

<will try to avoid the very large cities and go to the obscure small places most people don't go>

Being honest, you lost me here. If you are excluding large cities because you've already explored them thoroughly, then I'm wrong. But I suspect you think that the Real America lies in small towns and not in large cities, and if that's the case, you're wrong. Excluding population centers makes no sense to me--OK, except that that RV will be a PITA to deal with!--so I won't be able to comment on your trip.

No great loss--plenty of others will chime in eventually. Good luck.

Hard to get an RV to Hawaii.

Have a kook at John Steinbeck's Traveling with Charley.

Nobody can call the Picados stay at home folks. Best of luck. Now in Boston we've lived and been in many a small town in the Middle West and elsewhere. This includes family vacations with tent, then several fold downs, then several trailers (yours a bit bigger). Assume you will keep a diary and take photos for your own enjoyment. .

Thank you so much for your input, I will make a Facebook page and open a tweeter account to log hopefully every day what I see , and yes there will be plenty of photos comments, and if I have lots of time I will even recommend a place , restaurant or museum ect ect that we feel we had a good experience, since we don't have a timetable for this we may stay at a town more than we think, some charity work may be also included for the more needy, did I leave out a state? I mean continues United States may include a bit of Canada but not sure about an having to go through customs immigration is worth the hassle or just go in the car will pull? anyway that's to all and please keek commenting I read all.

The two states that I would fly to and rent an RV would be Alaska and Hawaii.
Fly from either to Seattle and then start on the lower 48.
Where were you planning on starting your epic journey?
