A Year Long Road Trip For People Who Want 70 Degree Weather Everyday

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to reading my blog, you find out that today's blog post is also about averages, but this is a little more interesting...how you can spend an entire year hanging out where the temperature averages 70 degrees. 

Today's blog post started as a Facebook post. The article in RVing.how shows a map from Texas to San Diego, by way of Alaska. However, you'd need a passport to get through Canada if you drove. However, the blog post that this article was based on has a couple of other choices.

Contiguous U.S.

The Contiguous U.S. version of the road trip is identical to the North American version up through the second week of June. Instead of heading into Canada, it hugs the Canadian border. Then ...

• Near Glacier National Park, the route turns south along Highway 93 and passes Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. The route then turns southeast and travels through central Wyoming before settling near Denver, Colorado.
• The next two months are spent leisurely traversing the Colorado high country ending up near Durango, Colorado.
• Once we make it to September, our trip takes us back through Yellowstone National Park and southern Montana, before turning south through South Dakota and into Nebraska.
• The period of October through the end of the year are then identical to the North America route shown in Figure 1.

This version of the route traveled through parts of 30 states. All-in-all we put over 9,000 miles on our vehicle.

Figure 3. Proposed route across Contiguous U.S. where the normal high temperature is always at, or very near 70°F.

I'm not sure I'd want to spend 3 months in Texas and 3 months in Colorado. The third map is a bit more interesting, and since I like warmer weather, it actually works out well for me.

Addendum: 80°F Road Trip Map

Figure 5. Proposed route across Contiguous U.S. where the normal high temperature is always at, or very near 80°F.

On this trip, you spend the first 2 months in Hawaii  From there you fly to Florida and start the road trip which then ends up back in Florida. You then spend New Year's Eve back in Hawaii. Any trip that begins and ends in Hawaii sounds pretty good to me!
