So, with some trepidation due to never riding this far, I am getting ready to start my trip across the US from Moorpark, Ca to Nashville, Tn. I am looking for lodgiung along the way that at least offers bedbugs as an option, not included with each and every room. As I am crossing multiple states, I am open to all suggestions.
I just did the same route in the opposite direction. The only thing I can say is most towns and larger have hotels along I40 chck your map for bold letter towns or outskirts of cities. Then check in between 5-7pm to get a room. After that it could be a crap shoot because everybody else needs a room too. Enjoy your trip Cheap but nice:$45-$70 Hotel 6 Econo-Lodge, Mom & Pop places I usually get ground floor with door exit to parking lot. Park bike in front of room.
Be careful of Long asking you to "go stealth" with him in his tent. At least that's what Randy told me.
