Ah dude, houseboats!!!
heh
and I'd LOVE to travle that Mile high Cherohala Skyway scenic highway....
I haven't been camping in forever and I think the Fiance here would love it too. I'll start talking to her about it. Seeing as it's only a 6 hour trip right across 40 (less than 6 if you count my lead foot) it'd be easy for us to leave early on a Saturday morning, and go home Sunday night. Might even take a Friday afternoon off for this one.
I love the idea of the whole weekend only costing about $200-$300 for two people.
I'm thinking full hook up for (possibly) two nights = $40
Tank of gas each way and some for driving during the weekend = $85 (or so)
Beer, food, vino, a disposable grill, coals, disposable cameras, sunblock, souveniers, whatever... $75-$175... (notice, beer BEFORE food)
The last part is entirely up to the participants...hehe
Personally, for two, I'd say $300 would be enough money to cover any little unexpected things too. If you eat at a restaurant, factor that in too.
I don't remember the last time we spent a full weekend away from home for under $300. But it looks like it can be done.
