The joys of fulltiming include having a bit more time and ability to see the world and its various attractions. But how do you find "stuff" to see on the road?One of the best "guides" we've found are the AAA auto club's "TourBooks." While a lot of the guidebook is dedicated to the evaluation of hotels and motels--not something we need to worry about--there are also great sections devoted to attractions, both natural and "commercialized." These are laid out alphabetically by city in the various states covered in the guides. For example, we're currently planning a route through Utah, so we're falling back on the Colorado & Utah TourBook to help us find stops we want to make along the way.
While the TourBooks are free to AAA members, since we've started RVing we haven't found AAA membership to be as attractive as it once was, as we don't like their "no change flat tires on trailers" road insurance policy. How do we get TourBooks? We've found we can often bum last year's copy from friends who are AAA members, and we've also found that many used bookstores and yard sales have them at reasonable prices.
