I’ll be moving cross country in about a month. I have a set of OEM cross bars and want to get a cargo bag for the roof for the trip. Cargo box would be ideal, but they’re too expensive and hard to store when living in an apartment. I understand I will lose mpgs- this is just a means to an end.
Has anyone used a cargo bag for transport? Which brand/model? How did you secure it to the roof if you have bars? Thank you!
Hi all, I've seen quite a few posts about this from folks traveling west through SD. I'll be driving south from TRNP, then heading east through SD. I'd love any advice/recommendations on places to see and routes to take!
I'm having a hard time figuring out how much time to spend in each place. I'd love to see as much nature as possible- prioritizing hiking, wildlife, unique to SD landscapes, swimming/waterfalls, etc. I'm not so interested in museums or tourist attractions (unless highly recommended). I'm open to camping (and hope to at Custer), but will be traveling at the beginning of August and I assume summer weather can be a bit brutal.
My wishlist items:
- Custer SP
- Badlands NP
- Mt. Rushmore (if it makes sense, I know it's touristy but I doubt I'll get the chance to see it again)
- Curious about Spearfish canyon scenic byway
I'll have about 3 days, potentially 4. Does that seem like enough time to see things at a moderate-slow pace? Thank you! I appreciate any guidance!
