Camping and the Internet
While we were on our road trip this summer, we camped in several state parks scattered around the country. It was a great option for us because we were travelling with a dog, and we didn't want to have to spend lots of money on crappy hotels along the way -- not to mention that camping is enjoyable in its own right. I have to wonder how someone would have planned such a trip before the Web. Of course, they would have probably gotten a book of camp sites in America, or perhaps several books, one for each state/region. But, thankfully we had no such encumbrances. South Dakota probably had the best online system of those that I used (most use a private 3rd party web site), with pictures of each individual campsite.

An ex-girlfriends father runs the S. Dakota park and rec department.... always wondered how the two of them were related ;-)

Nathan, believe it or not, in Arizona, printed books are still the best resource for finding a decent campground. Of course, we have tons of back country camping as well, but I was really disappointed at the lack of an all encompassing Internet resource for tracking down decent camping in AZ.
