<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks to the responses! I feel confident to drive the 2, 400 to our new home this summer! (For those who asked - we are moving from Chicago to Olympia, WA.). Among the dozens of emails I received, there were so many tips and ideas, I can't begin to enumerate them here - so I will give some general ideas generated: 1. Always carry an ice cooler filled with goodies: cheese, vegies, cooked rice, meats, GF bread, mayo, GF waffles for a toaster/toaster oven, etc. 2. Stop for hot food wherever you can to break up the trip: try Wendy's chili or baked potatoes, etc. 3. Bring your breadmaker - plug it in at the hotel or campsite and make some fresh bread! 4. Post your itinerary on the list - let people know where you plan to be - and let them help you find local markets/GF food places to eat along the way! 5. Get you a dishpan and fill it with paper plates, cups, bowls, plastic silverware, a roll of paper towels, salt, pepper, dishsoap, matches, napkins, a small tablecloth, a dish cloth and a dish towel, garbage bags, etc., then you always have something to eat on and something to do any dirty dishes. 6. If you are going to stay in hotels, pack a pressure cooker, toaster, electric frying pan, etc. Make meals at the hotel and pack them up for the rest of the day - or at least have a hot breakfast! 7. Be sure to ask for a refrigerator if you are staying at a hotel. 8. Fresh fruit! 9. Dinty Moore Beef Stew, marshmellows, etc. - all easy camping foods. Check the CSA food guide first and then off you go! 10. Think about getting a cooler that plugs in to the cigarette lighter instead of one with ice. If not, use blocks of ice instead of bags of pieces/cubes. Cover the cooler with a blanket to keep it out of the sun & cool! THANK YOU ALL! Now.... if only I could psyched myself up for the leg cramps from sitting in the car.... LOL. Kate
