Stalled traffic for hours, fatal accidents on the road, dead Pitbulls in the ditches, you name it we have seen it.

However...Our 2024 major traveling concern now is the horrific motels we are encountering along the way that we have stayed at . Filthy dirty rooms, sticky floors, no towels or soap, nasty bedding and absolutely no coffee offered in the morning. $135 per night because we travel with our dogs, major rip-off !!
It does no good to complain either because they threaten to throw you out and you will end up sleeping in your car at the rest stops...which we have also done on more then one occasion.

So before we embark on yet another trek north to Wisconsin we will be investing in a small RV which we can feel safer driving in, comes with a bathroom and refrigerator for sandwiches, clean towels and bedding and most importantly...my own coffee pot !!! And then we can finally say ADIOUS to all the crappy motels along the way !

What cities and motels have you stayed in that were subpar?
