Planning POTA Roves & Roadtrips

I’m just starting to plan an extended road trip from home (RI) down to Florida in a few months (end of June) focusing on activating at least one park in each state (and DC). I’m also going to try to do a 10 park rove on one of the days.

What do folks use to plan park activations and roves for places that you can’t easily scope out? How do you select which parks are good choices?

Thinking things like:

  • close enough to the route
  • good spots to activate from
  • 2-fer/3-fer/etc opportunities
  • camping spots available (I’ll be camping every other day)

I am planning on using ChatGPT / Claude for a lot of it, but AI isn’t always the best for knowing where is best, so figured I’d ask the group.
