How to take a road trip by hollylollipop

"Drove to Oshkosh, Wisconsin with Pathfinder group for the International Camporee."

How I did it: We started raising money about a year in advance so that we would be able to take our whole group of about 20+ people. We had three vans and one truck to transport us and all our luggage plus food and other supplies. We stopped along the way to go sightseeing at Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Heart Mountain, etc. On the trip home we just took the fastest way back to be able to make it for school. It took a lot of planning and people willing to help.

Lessons & tips: Be considerate of the people you are traveling with and remember to think of the needs of others.
