Ring Road Notes

Overview

This entry is set up like a road trip field note. It works well for mileage, weather, route changes, and quick recommendations.

What worked

  • Booking the first and last nights in advance.
  • Keeping a flexible middle section for weather.
  • Packing layers that could handle wind and rain.

What we would change

We would leave more margin between long driving days. The best stops were the ones we had enough time to enjoy without watching the clock.
