Did you prebook hotels / motels or just find accommodations along the way?
Hey Mat
Prebook....I don't like to.
Makes me have to get to a certain place at the end of the day and i don't like that.
I prefer to take things as they come.
but i look for things in advance.
take this trip for example....coming into Cody WY i was getting surround by dark clouds.
****** weather was upon us so i darted to a car wash.
It didn't look like it was going to let up any and it was then that i decided to call it a day.
i had research Cody and knew it was an expensive town to stay in
(about $150 a night)
But sitting there you could see all these bikes headed to town and they were looking for rooms also.
so i bit the bullet and headed to the closest Super 8
Good thing too cause it ****** down
Rain is different in the west....one raindrop would fit into a shot glass....its ridiculous.
but it all worked out in the end.
but in answering youR question....no i normally don't book ahead of time.
Now that being said...if you are going to a big event like Sturgis then ya when you are going there i book ahead.
Just before i left Cody i had the girl at the Super 8 call ahead to The Chief in Custer SD and book my room.
Its pretty close to Sturgis and rooms fill up fast for the Rally.
most places in a 100 mile radius of Sturgis are all book up for the Rally a year in advance
