I'm going to lose my job on January 30th. (Actually, I'm the guy in charge and I'm laying myself off.) I've never done any touring, but, if I wanted to take February and March and go someplace and tour for a couple of months, where would I go? I'm in Northern Michigan and would be looking for someplace where the lows stay around 40 or upper 30's. Although, I've done lots of camping in much lower temps. I don't need, or want, real warm weather. I'd also rather stay East of the Mississippi if possible, but would be open to other areas. I've got all the equipment and the choice of a couple of different bikes. I'd be camping most of the time. I might need to get some front panniers, but that would be about it. And, by the way, I hate going on busy roads, so rural and sparsely populated would be the route of choice. Also, I'll not be in any hurry to get anywhere, in fact, I describe my style as "aggressively slow."

Any ideas?

John
