i notice your route through the US. having traveled all over the country on a bike i would suggest spend your time in the western mountains (colorado, n.w. wyoming) & the west coastal roads (big sur, lost coast/usal road/sinkyone/matole campground). the camping at sinkyone wildnerness state park (california) is other worldly. imagine 2000ft mountains crashing into the ocean. you've been through some beautiful terrain and the roads & terrain east of the rocky mountains will be flat, boring and straight. i assume you trip to florida is to see key west. florida is long straight & boring and you'll spend days of that getting there. free camping can easily be had in the national forests of the western mountains. once you go east you will not find that as most all land is private. in the US people are not so generous about letting other people use there land. the west coast has better beaches.
