Road Trips is something a little different. We want to plug in a few more pieces of the Grateful Dead puzzle by putting the spotlight on different tours and series of shows that have been neglected through the years.

Every Road Trips release will come with a beautifully designed booklet containing an essay about how the music on the discs fits into the Dead’s long history, plus many rare and never-before-seen photographs. Plus rarities from the deepest corners of the vault, multitrack releases, box sets, DVDs, downloads and who-knows-what-else.

Glacier National Park is one of many scenic places you can visit on an American road trip.

In a country as large as the United States, there’s no shortage of destinations and detours to explore by car . Whether your idea of the perfect American road trip entails an epic, cross-country journey or a shorter jaunt through a few of its most iconic national parks , your options are as large and varied as the country itself.

Even if you don’t have the time to drive cross-country, there are plenty of road trip routes (ranging from three days to a week or longer): classic California itineraries , New England routes that shine especially well in the fall, scenic East Coast adventures, and a variety of Midwest journeys for folks farther from the coasts.

No matter your mode of transportation—be it van, RV, motorcycle, or four-door sedan—these are 21 of the best road trips in the nation to consider.

Plan your next Route 66 trip around thirst-quenching stops.

There are many ways to do a cross-country road trip in the USA, but these two itineraries will take you through some truly iconic American places.

1. Chicago to Los Angeles: A Whiskey Road Trip on Route 66

It doesn’t get more American than a 2,000-mile drive along the entirety of Route 66. There are endless ways to take this legendary trip (including an EV version —but to take your cross-country road trip to the next level, we recommend exploring another American pastime: whiskey.

Starting in Chicago and ending in L.A., you’ll stop by some of the leading craft distilleries in the United States, like Few Spirits in Chicago, Still 630 in St. Louis, and Red Fork Distillery in Tulsa. In between tastings, make time for detours to natural attractions, like the Grand Canyon, and quirky roadside curiosities, like Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. Just remember to drink responsibly—this is a road trip after all.

2. Bangor, Maine, to Seattle, Washington: The Great Northern on U.S. Route 2

Covering both the U.S. and Canada, a cross-country trip along U.S. 2 is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the vast diversity and expansiveness of North America. This drive runs the entire top border of the U.S. and showcases otherworldly natural wonders like Acadia National Park in Maine, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin, and Mackinac Island in Michigan. The route also passes through Canada, taking road-trippers through Ontario into Quebec—this route may focus on nature, but you won’t want to miss a stop in Montreal or Ottawa.

You’ll also get to explore Montana and Glacier National Park ( reservations may be required ) before passing the Columbia Plateau and ending in the Pacific Northwest’s largest city, Seattle. Don’t miss spending time in the Olympic Peninsula (home to Olympic National Park) for a peek at one of the most scenic places on the West Coast.

3. Dana Point to San Francisco: Driving California’s Pacific Coast Highway

The seemingly endless views of the Pacific Ocean along Highway 1 (also known as the Pacific Coast Highway) are what road trip dreams are made of, and exactly what makes this California road trip so popular. However, with so many stops along the 655-mile stretch, we pulled together a list of the ones well worth pulling over to view. Don’t miss the perfect surfing waves in Santa Cruz, seasonal cuisine in Malibu, an afternoon a the boardwalk in Santa Monica, or a night in Big Sur as you drive between Dana Point (just south of Los Angeles) and San Francisco.

4. Big Sur to Mono County: A Literary Road Trip Through Northern California

Yes, this itinerary requires you actually put down your book to drive, but seeing some of the pivotal places that shaped American authors will be so worth it. Follow in the footsteps of writers like Jack Kerouac, Maya Angelou, and Amy Tan on this road trip that takes you through literary landmarks in Northern California, such as Caffe Trieste, a meeting place for Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Alan Watts, and other bohemian writers and thinkers. This 12-stop itinerary is perfect if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area because you’ll be able to stay make these trips in one or two days.

9. Portland to Astoria: An Oregon Coast Road Trip for Outdoor Lovers

If you love the outdoors, then this six-day road trip along the coast of Oregon is for you.

Between stops, there are ample opportunities to stretch your legs hiking, kayaking, or strolling around the region’s small towns—like the historic old town in Florence.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Oregon road trip without a stop (or three) at a craft brewery, such as Fort George Brewery in Astoria, or cozy coffee shop, like Bread & Roses in Yachats.

18. Maine’s “Lobster Trail”: Travel Route 1 Along the Coast

Traveling Route 1, affectionately known as “the lobster trail,” along Maine’s jagged coastline is an exercise in indulgence. Sample lobster dishes in all forms—buttered, steamed, on a roll, or even in a decadent mac-and-cheese.

The trip starts in the quaint small town of Ogunquit , with its rare (for the area) 3.5 miles of white-sand beach. Make your first lobster of the journey count, steamed with a side of drawn butter at Barnacle Billy’s in picturesque Perkins Cove harbor. Stop at Big Daddy’s for a cone on your way to the shipbuilding center—and summer home of George H. W. Bush—Kennebunkport. Stay at the recently redesigned 150-year-old classic White Barn Inn , and consider a sailing trip for an afternoon. With lobsters cooked in ocean water, the legendary lobster roll at the Clam Shack is a must.

Scenic South Walton is part of the Emerald Coast of Florida.

20. Scenic Highway 30A: A Sunday Drive Through South Walton, Florida

Florida is full of places to cruise with the top down, but it’s hard to beat a Sunday (or any day) drive along Scenic Highway 30A through northwest Florida, home to a postcard-perfect stretch of seaside towns known as South Walton.

The roughly 28-mile route through South Walton County kisses the coast for nearly all its length, taking you through gorgeous residential Gulf-front communities like Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, and Blue Mountain Beach . Roll down the windows and let the emerald-hued views in.

Pull over to explore, too—maybe to admire the New Urbanism architecture in Alys Beach or to swim in the clear waters at Grayton Beach State Park . (The beach here has been lauded among the best in the world.)

21. The Florida Keys: An Island-Hopping Getaway

For a sunny road trip itinerary in Florida, skip Miami and head farther south. Beginning in Key Largo and ending in Key West, the Florida Keys Scenic Highway is often overlooked for more well-known routes up north, but it is well worth going out of your way to experience.

As the name suggests, this route is very scenic, so plan to spend at least a few days exploring it and numerous stops along the way. Some highlights include driving across the impressive Overseas Highway, stopping to admire art in the town of Islamorada, and enjoying the historic sites, food, and (of course) beaches in the city of Key West.

22. Memphis to Bristol, Tennessee: A Music-Driven Adventure

If you have about a week to spare and a deep appreciation for music, take a road trip from one side of Tennessee to the other, starting in Memphis and ending in Bristol. The eastbound trip spans genres, including rock ( Graceland ), blues ( Beale Street) and, of course, country (did you really go to Tennessee if you didn’t go to Dollywood ?). Nashville serves as the halfway point on your journey—so consider penciling in an extra 48 hours to fully explore the state capital’s greatest hits.

23. Arecibo to Condado, Puerto Rico: A Lesser-Known Side of a Well-Loved Island

In the minds of many, trips to Puerto Rico bring images of stunning beaches , delicious foods , and maybe a bioluminescent bay or two . But there’s plenty of history to be found here, too, as Puerto Rico was home to an Indigenous population known as the Taino, a heritage many Puerto Ricans embrace. That history can be explored via a road trip. Starting in the northern town of Arecibo, travel south to Ponce, then back north to Condado—along the way you’ll encounter petroglyphs, Indigenous sites, and breathtaking natural spots.

Here are some Northern California accommodations we recommend along your route:

Camping In Northern California

For the majority of our latest road trip in Northern California, we went camping!

We decided on a mix of California State Parks and free campsites. To find free camping spots , we use an app called The Dyrt , which helps us find nearby BLM land to camp overnight on (but only the pro members are able to get this feature!) Try their pro membership free for 30-days when using our code MANDAGIES !

For places that didn’t have a lot of BLM or national forest to use for camping, we reserved campsites in designated campgrounds. Here were some of our favorites:

• Sue-Meg State Park (Formerly Patrick’s Point State Park)
• Mcarthur-Burney Falls State Park
• Jedidiah Smith Redwood State Park

Recommended Airbnbs

Airbnbs are great accommodations for your Northern California road trip if you crave some creature comforts! There are so many cute mountain cabins, desert dwellings, and simple places with close access to adventure. If it’s your first time booking with Airbnb, make sure to click here and get $40 off your first stay!

We booked a few Northern California Airbnbs throughout our road trip for shower breaks, a good night’s sleep, and easy access to wifi. One of our hosts also let us use their washer and dryer for laundry.

Northern California Lodges

Sometimes, a swanky lodge is a perfect way to treat yourself and unwind!

If you want to splurge on a one-of-a-kind stay, consider places like the Yosemite Valley Lodge, The Stanford Inn by the Sea, Timber Cove Resort, and the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite.

What To Pack For A Northern California Road Trip

Good Hiking Boots: Northern California hiking trails are rugged and fun! It’s important to bring shoes that are comfortable, broken-in, and ideally waterproof. We choose ones with ankle support, to keep us stable on uneven surfaces (like climbing over rocks and tree stumps).

A Good Offline Map: Most of the time on your Northern California road trip, expect to find little cell service. Make sure to download these road trip planning apps to help you navigate gracefully on AND offline.

Road Trip Essentials: Any good road trip needs these essential items on their road trip packing list. Don’t forget to build your own DIY roadside emergency tool kit as well!

Light Rain Jacket: Between the marine layer in the mornings to the unpredictable coastal weather, a rain jacket is a must-have. Choose a lightweight one that can easily be stuffed in your daypack!

Day Pack: A good day pack is comfortable for long-term wear, and ideally waterproof to withstand all types of weather! Look for ones with lots of outside pockets (to store snacks!) and hip straps for extra weight support.

First Stop On Your Northern California Road Trip: San Francisco

San Francisco (or Oakland) is a natural starting point for your Northern California road trip for their abundance of resources to begin your journey. This is where you can easily rent a car, stock up on groceries, and make any last-minute errands before you take off. This is the perfect place to begin your journey, as all good west coast road trips should have the chance to drive across this iconic bridge.

If you want to spend some time in the city, try to spend a quick day doing the touristy things like visiting Fisherman’s Wharf, hike Land’s End, and the Mission District for a quick overview of the city.

For your final exit heading out on your Northern California road trip, finish it off by driving across the Golden Gate Bridge to Mount Tamalpais State Park and the Muir Woods!

Mount Tamalpais State Park

Mount Tamalpais State Park is one of the most instagrammable places on your Northern California road trip!

Some of the most iconic places to see in Mount Tamalpais State Park are the East Peak Hike for epic views of the city, Van Wyck Meadows , and Oberman’s Rock / Leaning Tower .

If you want to venture out a little further to see giant Sequoia trees, you can go explore the Muir Woods National Monument, located nearby in Mill Valley, CA.

For an iconic Northern California road trip experience, make sure to photograph the sunset from Bolinas Ridge – bonus if you catch a car winding down those roads!

Point Reyes National Seashore

Point Reyes National Seashore is a protected area north of San Francisco for its elk population, shorebirds, and a huge variety of incredible marshland, rangeland, and ocean headlands!

Come visit the Point Reyes Lighthouse for an opportunity to spot whales offshore, and chat with a park ranger about recent sightings and best times to see them. One of the most popular stops in this area includes visiting the historic Point Reyes Lighthouse that sits on the westernmost tip of the park. You can walk down the 300+ stairs to witness this 1870 structure up close!

Other iconic Northern California road trip stops here include the Cypress Tree tunnel , the shipwrecks in Inverness, and the leaning tree by the coast.

Shelter Cove

Northern California isn’t exactly known for its golden sandy beaches – that’s more reserved for sunny Orange County ! However, the lack of sandy beaches doesn’t mean the coast isn’t worth a spot on your North California road trip itinerary – just the opposite, in fact!

One of the most incredible Northern California beaches we’ve experienced was Black Sand Beach in Shelter Cove , an hour’s drive west from Highway 101. This section of the California coastline is under King Range National Conservation Area , which was designated as protected land in the 1970s.

Here the mountains seem to dramatically dive straight into the ocean. This was an unforgiving landscape for road construction, thus why this area is commonly referred to as California’s “Lost Coast” and the Highway 101 was diverted an hour east. Lucky for visitors like you though, this means you can visit this widely untouched, special part of the coast for a unique stop on your Northern California road trip itinerary.

For those who are brave enough to take the journey on the winding roads to the small community of Shelter Cove (it’s really a serious detour), you’ll likely be greeted with an empty beach all to yourself.

Patrick’s Point and The Coastal Redwoods

The Coastal Redwoods are probably the wildest and most unpredictable stop on your Northern California road trip! From the giant redwood trees to the cliffside ocean views, there are many beautiful places to experience in this part of the northern California coast.

Spend the day exploring Patrick’s Point – a 640-acre park with a dense forest of hemlock, pine & fir, all neighboring the dramatic cliffside along the ocean’s edge. We visited Rocky Point for sunset and Wedding Rock and Mussels Beach for sunrise. Both were excellent options for short and beautiful coastal hiking trails.

Camp at Patrick’s Point State Park campground, which is a really great central location for all sorts of activities nearby. From there, you can take the short drive south to the California coastal towns of Eureka, Arcata, and Trinidad . There are several small beaches to explore around there, so pop into anyone that looks interesting to you!

Redwood National Park and State Parks

One of the most iconic stops on any Northern California itinerary is taking in all the views of the Redwood National Park, and State Parks!

Drive through some of the most scenic drives on the West Coast lined with Redwood giants of HUGE magnitude! The most famous route is through the Avenue of Giants (located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park), a 31-mile Redwood-lined drive with tons of history and interpretive signs along the way.

For a more rugged experience, try taking dirt road scenic drives through ancient North California forests – our favorites are through Cal-Barrel Road and Howland Hill Road near Crescent City. Note that RV’s and trailers are not allowed on these roads!

Another amazing Northern California road trip stop to check out is a magical swing that overlooks the cliffs and the Pacific Ocean! To find the iconic swing at Patrick’s Point , park at Trinidad State Beach and follow signs to College Cove to the cliffs.

Trip Tip: Personally, we think you should save your money when it comes to driving “through” those large Redwood trees. They are generally privately owned, over-priced, and a lot more underwhelming than you’d expect!

Fern Canyon

To finish off your road trip on the Northern California coast (after this you’ll be heading inland!), spend the morning in a magical fern-covered corridor deep in the woods. That’s right, Fern Canyon looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale! Wander down the canyon with 100+ foot tall fern-covered walls and experience the best solitude nature can provide.

Located in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park , this is an essential Northern California itinerary stop for any photography lovers and hikers.

It takes a bit of work to get here, though. You’ll need to drive the unpaved, gravel Davison Road for 10 miles until you reach the trailhead. The road is quite narrow and windy, so RV’s and cars towing something behind are not recommended.

Don’t forget to wear water safe shoes! During periods of heavy rainfall or in the springtime, you’ll find yourself crossing many streams. In the summertime, they will place boards across streams to help visitors cross, but they aren’t always reliable. The trail is easy and suitable for all ages, just a simple 1.1 mile lollipop loop trail.

Not ready to leave the coast? Explore our Oregon Coast road trip route and continue north instead!

Lake Shasta

Mount Shasta, located in the Southern Cascade Range, is one of those unique locations where you feel so far away from civilization, yet it remains extremely accessible along the I-5 corridor.

Hike Yellow Butte for the most incredible but underrated views of Mount Shasta, take the Heart Lake trail for stunning alpine views, or explore the longer trek to the incredible Castle Crags Dome views. There are plenty of places to camp here on your Northern California itinerary so you don’t have to worry about rushing out of here.

Have a few extra days in your Northern California itinerary? Rent a houseboat and float around on Lake Shasta!

McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

McArthur-Burney Memorial State Park probably hosts one of the most beautiful stops on your Northern California road trip – Burney Falls!

This 129-foot tall waterfall feels MASSIVE in real life, with the powerful force of the water and mist totally engulfing you at the base. The falls are part of a really well-maintained area , hosting a campground, day-use area, and even a general store with great ice cream cones!

Access to the falls is $10 per day for parking a vehicle, so come prepared with cash or a California state park pass. Here, you can view the falls from the upper viewing area , or hike the short 0.3-mile paved walkway down to the base . We recommend stopping by both, because they each have their own magic to them!

Note: This is an extremely popular Northern California road trip stop, so expect crowds, or plan your visit early or later in the day!

Want to see more cool waterfalls on your Northern California road trip? Consider adding stops to McCloud Falls (there is an Upper Middle and Lower falls!), Mossbrae Falls, Whiskeytown Falls, and Lion Slide Falls.

Lassen Volcanic National Park

Lassen Volcanic National Park is located a 1.5-hour drive from Redding, California.

Only have one day in the park? Take a scenic drive through the main highway, stopping at pullouts that look interesting to you! Driving one-way (30 miles) will take you about an hour, so allot for at least 4 hours to drive and see some sights along the way.

If you only have time for one hike, make it to the Bumpas Hell trail , where you can see a complex hydrothermal system, where molten rock heats up with water above and creates beautiful steaming pools at the surface.

Other popular geothermal pools in the area include Sulphur Works (walkable, near the parking lot) or longer hikes to Devil’s Kitchen , Boiling Springs Lake , and Terminal Geyser .

For a picnic stop, grab lunch at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitors Center located at the south end of the park. Additionally, you can pack a lunch and eat it lakeside, where we recommend North Summit Lake or Manzanita Lake . This way, you can jump in and cool off after lunch on a hot day!

Bonus Northern California Road Trip Stops

Have a few more days to spare on your road trip to Northern California? Here are a few more stops to consider along your route!

For a few more days on your Northern California getaway, extend your trip out to Lake Tahoe – the nation’s largest alpine lake!

Make sure to stop at Sand Harbor and paddleboard to Bonsai Rock. It’s one of the most popular places to reach by boat in the park! Parking at Sand Harbor is $10 for the day, with access to bathrooms and other amenities. You can also park alongside the road (on a narrow pullout) and hike down for access to Bonsai Rock, but the trail is steep!

Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is one of the most iconic places to visit in California! It’s home to Yosemite Falls, Taft Point, the Half Dome Trail, and Glacier Peak, but that’s not all! You can also explore Yosemite’s backcountry on their backpacking trails and longer hikes, too.

Currently, the park is open for visitors on a reservation-only basis . Reservations are free, but require some extra steps for planning a trip. Click here to learn more about Yosemite’s reservation system. (Current as of Autumn 2020)

Mammoth Lakes

Are you interested in driving down Highway 395 toward Los Angeles and San Diego? Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful destination along the way, with natural hot springs, alpine lakes, and tons of mountain adventures!

Stop by Mono Lake to see the incredible tufas (calcium carbonate rock), and the nearby Bodie State Historic Park to explore a cool ghost town.

If you love hot springs, make sure to stop by Travertine Hot Springs and Wild Willy’s. These are two of the most popular hot springs around, but there are quite a few more if you are willing to search for them! Both have access to BLM land nearby for camping, so you can plan a beautiful sunrise soak!

Other beautiful stops in the Mammoth Lake area include Convict Lake, Rainbow Falls, Devil’s Postpile, and Hot Creek.

Southern Oregon Coast

Are you more interested in planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest ? You can venture north and explore Oregon, California’s neighboring state. Almost immediately, there are several amazing stops along the Oregon coast , enough to add a few extra days to your trip!

Some of the best stops on the Southern Oregon coast include Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor , Gold Beach, Face Rock in Bandon , and Coos Bay . Come with a camera in hand and water shoes at the ready, and prepare to witness some magical sunsets on the coast!

Best West Coast Winter RV Road Trips

Tour southern arizona.

Start: Tucson, Arizona

End: Bisbee, Arizona

Distance (one-way): 104 miles

Route and Key Attractions

Southern Arizona is one of our favorite winter road trips because it offers several unique destinations without any long drives. Start your trip in Tucson, which offers a great mix of city and outdoor activities.

Spend at least one day gazing at the behemoth cactuses in Saguaro National Park. Other top attractions in the city include the Pima Air and Space Museum and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy after a day of adventure.

The next stop on this winter road trip is just an hour south. The lesser-known town of Sonoita is mostly known for its large number of wineries and tasting rooms.

I highly recommend stopping in for tastings at Arizona Hops and Vines, The Meading Room and Sonoita Vineyards. You can even park at some nearby wineries and breweries with a Harvest Hosts membership.

Just one more hour to the southeast is Bisbee, your final destination. This historic mining town has a beautiful, walkable downtown where tourists can shop, dine and drink. Visitors can learn about the town’s history and travel underground on a Queen Mine Tour.

Where to Stay

• Tucson: Tucson/Lazydays KOA (Make sure to purchase KOA Rewards )

Visit Southern California’s National Parks

Start: Joshua Tree National Park

End: Death Valley National Park

Distance (one-way): 249 miles

Just like in other seasons, national parks are top destinations for the best winter RV road trips. Southern California offers the opportunity to explore two national parks with mild winter weather. Plan to spend a minimum of 2 to 3 days in each park.

During your first stop at Joshua Tree, plan to get up early and watch the sunrise from the Cholla Cactus Garden. Also fit in a least one hike.

The Ryan Mountain and Hi-View trails are both great options. Also keep your eyes open for bighorn sheep while driving and walking through the park. End your days at Joshua Tree with some amazing stargazing at the campground.

The 4-hour drive to Death Valley National Park can easily be completed in one day. Once you arrive, plan to stay on the road a bit longer to explore Artists’ Drive, a scenic drive through multi-colored hills.

Also make stops at Badwater Basin and Zabriskie Point. Some roads in Death Valley are only open to shorter vehicles, so it is best to travel with a small RV or have another vehicle for day trips.

• Joshua Tree: Jumbo Rocks Campground
• Death Valley : Furnace Creek Campground

Free Camping in Southern California

Start: Palm Springs, California

End: Oceano, California

Distance (one-way): 335 miles

The first stop on this Thousand Trails tour of Southern California is Palm Springs. Travelers can spend their days hiking in nearby Indian Canyons or simply relax at the RV park’s pool.

Also plan to visit one of several local eateries, such as Great Shakes, that offers the town’s infamous date shakes. After enjoying Palm Springs, drive approximately 2.5 hours to Soledad Canyon RV Resort.

At Soledad Canyon, campers will enjoy a peaceful, secluded location with views of the San Gabriel mountains. Choose to stay at the campground enjoying amenities, such as horseshoe pits, volleyball and pickleball courts, a hot tub and nature trails.

For more excitement, take a day trip to Los Angeles, which is just south of the campground.

Visit Southern Utah’s National Parks

Start: Zion National Park

End: Bryce Canyon National Park

Winter RV road trips in Southern Utah may include colder temperatures, and even a little snow. However, visiting these national treasures without the crowds is worth every shiver. Just make sure to have winter RV gear , a heated water hose and full propane tanks before hitting the road.

Zion offers several incredible hikes, but some strenuous trails, such as Angel’s Landing, may be icy and should be avoided in the winter. However, other trails, such as the Canyon Overlook Trail and the Chinle Trail, are ideal to hike in the winter when there are less crowds and heat.

Also enjoy driving into the canyon, which is often open to private vehicles in the winter but restricted to only park shuttle buses in the peak season.

After taking the scenic 2-hour drive to Bryce Canyon, you will be rewarded with incredible views of the Bryce Amphitheater, which will often be covered in snow. It may be cold, but the views are absolutely magical. If you are willing to brave the cold, take a short walk on the Rim Trail to Sunset Point.

For added adventure, schedule a horseback riding tour along the beach. Once, you have had your fill of sun and sand, start the four-and-a-half-hour drive to San Antonio.

Your time in San Antonio is all about enjoying a little city life before you head to the remote national park. Visit the Alamo to learn about Texas history during the day. In the evenings, stroll the River Walk and enjoy local cuisine and cocktails on outdoor patios.

After a day or two in San Antonio, continue your journey with a six-hour drive to Big Bend National Park.

This vast park is divided into three distinct areas: desert, mountain and river. Plan to spend a minimum of at least three days in the park, so you have time to explore each section. Santa Elena Canyon, Balanced Rock and Lost Mine trails all offer unforgettable views.

• San Antonio: Traveler’s World RV Resort
• Big Bend National Park: Maverick Ranch RV Park

The beautiful water and warm weather make the Florida Keys an obvious choice for winter RV road trips. We recommend starting your trip with a bang in Key West. Spend your days and nights strolling Duval Street, watching street performers in Mallory Square and enjoying a few adult beverages.

After partying it up in Key West, drive 45 minutes north to Big Pine Key where you will find a more laid-back atmosphere. The Sunshine Key RV Resort (which is in the Thousand Trails network) sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean. The on-site marina offers kayak rentals and a variety of boat tours.

Then, drive two hours east to Henderson Beach State Park. The park offers RV campsites with water and electric hookups. There is a boardwalk leading directly from the campground to the water where campers can enjoy swimming or lounging on the beach.

The last stop on this Panhandle road trip is Ho-Hum RV Park in Carrabelle, Florida. Despite its name, this campground is quite special.

CDL joint venture bids $1.1 billion for Zion Road GLS site, but analysts say it is below expectations

SINGAPORE - A City Developments (CDL) joint venture has put in a bid of $1.1 billion for a plum plot in Zion Road – the first Government Land Sales (GLS) site to pilot a new class of long-stay serviced apartments .

But analysts say this lone bid for Zion Road parcel A, which reflects a land rate of $1,202 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr), is below market expectations and shows CDL’s cautious stance, despite the opportunity to expand its portfolio of rental properties.

Another GLS site, in Upper Thomson Road in the Springleaf precinct, drew a bid from GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings unit Intrepid Investments of $779.6 million – again, the only one – which is a land rate of $905 psf ppr. Analysts say this may be a defensive strategy by GuocoLand, which is developing 2,211 units in the nearby Lentor district, to maintain its strong foothold in the area.

The consensus of analysts is that the participation rate and bids for both sites came in below expectations. They noted that developers’ risk aversion continues to grow for prime and bigger sites that require large capital outlay, given the economic headwinds, tepid new home sales, interest rate uncertainty and cooling measures.

The single bids that the sites drew on April 4 were at what analysts call “conservative” land rates, especially for the Zion Road plot, despite its more attractive attributes.

In fact, some analysts question whether the Government will award the Zion Road plot, as the $1,202 psf ppr land rate is substantially lower than those of two other GLS plots sold nearby.

In December 2017, the Jiak Kim Street site (now Riviere) was sold for $1,733 psf ppr ($955.4 million), while the Irwell Bank Road plot (now Irwell Hill Residences) fetched $1,515 psf ppr ($583.9 million) in January 2020. 

Mr Nicholas Mak, chief research officer at property portal Mogul.sg, believes that the Government will deem the bids for the Zion Road and Upper Thomson Road sites too low, and will not award the tenders.

He pointed out that the most recent GLS site that was sold at a land rate close to $1,200 psf ppr was the residential plot at Pine Grove (Parcel B) in November 2023 at $1,223 psf ppr or $692.4 million.

“But the Zion Road location is more upmarket than Pine Grove, which is near Clementi... If the Government were to sell the Zion Road site at $1,202 psf ppr, the developer could reap substantial profit from this project,” Mr Mak said.

The Government will have to “weigh the cost and benefit of its plan to launch the long-stay serviced apartment concept against the relatively low land rate submitted”, he added.

While it remains to be seen if the Zion Road site will be awarded, ERA Singapore chief executive Marcus Chu believes that the future development could help “refresh serviced apartment supply in the area, as many serviced apartments there are much older”.

PropNex head of research and content Wong Siew Ying had expected a few more bids for the Zion Road plot – which can yield 1,170 units, including 435 long-stay serviced apartments, and commercial space – as it is near Orchard Road and the Central Business District.

“More importantly, this site is the first to offer long-stay serviced apartments, which could give the developer a source of recurring income, and perhaps an advantage in being an early mover,” she said.

But many developers may be wary of its sizeable plot – a total gross floor area of more than 920,000 sq ft – and land price, as well as the upcoming new private home supply from three other GLS sites in Zion Road and River Valley Green, she added.

Ms Alice Tan, head of consultancy at Knight Frank Singapore, said: “The writing was on the wall when the number of interested bidders shrank from more than seven in 2021 to fewer than five in 2023.” This is especially so for central locations, where the doubling of the additional buyer’s stamp duty to 60 per cent for foreigners weakened developers’ appetite for prime residential land.

Should CDL and its joint venture partner Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) be awarded the Zion Road site, the joint venture will explore a mixed-use project comprising a 69-storey block and a 64-storey block with 740 residential units for sale, a retail podium as well as a 35-storey block offering around 290 rental apartment units, said Mr Sherman Kwek, CDL’s group chief executive.

On the Upper Thomson site, which can yield 940 residential units, Ms Chia Siew Chuin, JLL’s head of residential research for Singapore, noted that the bid of $905 psf ppr is below the $982 psf ppr achieved by the Lentor Central GLS plot in September 2023. 

The lone bid for the Upper Thomson Road site “reflects both the low level of interest and the cautious stance of developers given the large scale and hefty investment quantum for the future project... The absence of comprehensive amenities and schools in the neighbourhood also represents a risk”, she said.

“If awarded the site, (GuocoLand) will strengthen its position as the primary developer in the locale, extending its influence beyond Lentor,” Ms Chia added.

The Ultimate East Coast National Parks Road Trip 

From Acadia in Maine to the Everglades in Florida, this road trip hits seven national parks, covers 1,800 miles, and guides you away from the crowds 

Heading out the door? Read this article on the Outside app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

How’s the saying go? “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” But if you want to connect the most spectacular East Coast national parks and experience the best adventures in between them, maybe the saying should go: “It’s not just the destination, because the journey is kickass, too.”

Follow our plan, and you’ll surf iconic breaks, paddle wild rivers, climb storied cliffs, and find yourself in miles of empty, stunning wilderness. Set aside a couple of weeks to complete the whole drive, or carve off one leg at a time.

Bar Harbor, Maine to Harrisonburg, Virginia

Distance: 789 miles

Route: You’ll start in Bar Harbor, at Acadia National Park, then head south along I-95 all the way down to Virginia, with stops in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

The Park: If you’re seeking dramatic coastline, Acadia National Park has that in spades. The park covers 47,000 acres of cliffs and islands that punctuate the Atlantic Ocean. The majority of it is centered around Mount Desert Island, home to Cadillac Mountain, which rises 1,527 feet from the edge of the ocean. Cadillac is the focus of most visitors—the scenic drive or a challenging hike to the top delivers all-encompassing views of Acadia’s cliffs and bays below.

Skip the crowds and get a taste of the dramatic coastline by hiking on the Schoodic Peninsula . Unlike the rest of Acadia, the Schoodic Peninsula is on the mainland, and yet somehow is more secluded and less popular. The scenery is similar to what you find on Mount Desert, as granite headlands, rocky beaches, and gnarled coves meet the Atlantic. A 7.5-mile network of hiking trails traverses the peninsula, ranging from coastline rambles through pine forests to steep climbs up granite knobs. Hiking Schoodic Head is the highlight. You can take the 1.1-mile Anvil Trail up the southeastern flank of Schoodic Head, which stands 440-feet above sea level, or the shorter but more technical half-mile East Trail, which requires some hand-over-hand scrambling to reach the summit. Either way, you’ll be greeted with long range views of Acadia, lighthouses along the coast, and lobster boats and islands dotting the Atlantic below.

Need to Know: You can drive or bike the six-mile, one-way road that traverses the peninsula, but there’s also a park shuttle that will drop you and pick you up at any point along the road.

Stay: The newly renovated seaside Salt Cottages are on Mount Desert Island, putting you on the doorstep of Acadia’s action. Choose from 30 cottages and a 10-room motor lodge. Either way, you have access to hot tubs, a pool overlooking Frenchman Bay, and grab-and-go picnic lunches. From $399 for a motor lodge room, $525 for cottages.

Eat and Drink: The takeout-only Rose Eden Lobster Shack on the north end of Mount Desert has arguably the best lobster roll in town, served classic Maine-style with a little bit of mayo on a grilled bun. They’ll deliver to your campsite or cottage, too.

Adventure Along the Drive: Rhode Island might be tiny, but it boasts 400 miles of coast with some of the best surfing in New England. The town of Narragansett is the hub of surfing culture and offers the most consistent summer break at Narragansett Town Beach. Beginners and longboarders will get the most out of the mellow beach break. If you’re looking for a point break with more energy, head to Point Judith, which sits in the shadow of a scenic lighthouse.

Detour: Hang a hard right into Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania, to raft the class III-V Youghiogheny River , the birthplace of rafting culture on the East Coast. The Upper Yough is the most exciting as it drops 115 feet per mile for five miles through a wild, boulder-choked canyon. Then push on down to Virginia.

Harrisonburg, Virginia to Fayetteville, West Virginia

Distance: 167 miles

Route: This is a shorter but no less worthy stretch of road, the highlight being Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park and some gorgeous mountain drives along the way.

The Park: Just 75 miles west of Washington, D.C., Shenandoah National Park protects a particularly pretty stretch of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offering a quick getaway for denizens of the Mid-Atlantic. And they show up—nearly 1.6 million of them visited the park in 2021. But most stick to the 101-mile-long Skyline Drive, which draws a line through the middle of the park, or flock to the summit of Old Rag, a dramatic, rocky peak with tough climbs and killer views. To avoid the crowds, try the 3.4-mile Chimney Rock loop hike. Or bring your fly rod. The park is packed with pristine backcountry trout streams, 70 of which hold healthy populations of native brook trout. Rapidan River, a headwaters stream, offers cool history along with its bevy of trout, as President Hoover established a mountain retreat where two streams join to form the Rapidan.

Need to Know: You can fish for trout year-round in Shenandoah, but Rapidan is catch and release only.

Stay: Skyland puts you in the heart of Shenandoah, as the park lodge occupies 27 acres off milepost 41 of Skyline Drive. Even better than the location are the digs: newly renovated rooms and cabins are well appointed, and the mountain views from 3,680 feet are stunning. Grab a suite (from $254) and lean into the lack of connectivity—there’s no cell service and Wifi is limited to the lobby.

Eat and Drink: A staple in the small town of Harrisonburg, the Local Chop and Grill House focuses on organic ingredients sourced from farms within the Shenandoah Valley. The result is elevated comfort food, like the Chop House meatloaf, a blend of local beef and pork paired with collards and mashed potatoes. Wash it down with a seasonal old-fashioned with house-made orange syrup.

Adventure Along the Drive:  About 60 miles away in nearby West Virginia, Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area is a hotbed of traditional climbing with hundreds of established multi-pitch routes that traverse the mountain’s unique fins of Tuscarora quartzite, which rise from the canopy like a dragon’s back. If you have time, sign up for a three-day trad camp , where you’ll master anchors and protection placement.

Detour: The bucolic Canaan Valley is surrounded by some of the most dramatic mountains in West Virginia, which is blessed with more than 100 miles of technical singletrack. Most of that singletrack begins and ends in the tiny town of Davis, which has all the bare necessities: a bike shop, great pizza, and a brewery. From here, it’s 164 miles to Fayetteville.

Fayetteville, West Virginia to Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Distance: 275 miles

Route: You’ll head deep into the heart of the Southern Appalachians to explore our 63rd and most recently designated national park—New River Gorge, with one of the region’s deepest gorges and some of its tallest mountains.

The Park: The 70,000-acre New River Gorge National Park protects some of the best whitewater rafting and rock climbing on the eastern seaboard. Less known? The 13-miles of singletrack built specifically for mountain biking. Hit the Arrowhead Trails on the south side of the gorge for fast and pedaly flow through a dense hardwood forest. The three-mile long Adena loop has the toughest climbs and quickest descents.

Need to Know: Unlike many national parks, bikes are allowed on a variety of trails throughout New River Gorge, including some non-technical paths that cruise by historic mining camps.

Stay: The cabin-heavy Adventures on the Gorge Resort sits on the rim of the New River Gorge, with a 350-acre campus packed with ziplines, pools, aerial adventure courses, and low key restaurants. The resort’s in-house guides will take you climbing and rafting, too. Choose from tent sites to deluxe cabins (from $39 for camping to $319 for deluxe cabins).

Eat and Drink: Pies and Pints is an institution and still the go-to gathering place for climbers and boaters exploring the New. You can get standard pies, but live a little and get one of their signature creations, like the Tajin-spiced Street Corn pizza. The beer list is the best around, too.

Adventure Along the Drive: Take a quick detour back into Virginia on your way to Tennessee to stop at the 200,000-acre Mount Rogers National Recreation Area —5,279-foot Rogers is the tallest peak in the state. Start in Grayson Highlands State Park and hike four miles through high-elevation mountain balds, scramble over rock outcroppings, and spy the herds of feral ponies that live free range on the ridges. Seriously, they’re adorable.

Detour: Before you hit the Smoky Mountains, soak in one of the only natural hot springs in the Southern Appalachians in Hot Springs, North Carolina. Mineral waters fill tubs in the Hot Springs Resort and Spa on the edge of the French Broad River. Book a private tub and make time for a beer at Big Pillow Brewing in downtown.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee to Columbia, South Carolina

Distance: 206 miles

Route: This short route begins on the Tennessee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most biodiverse in the country, and ends in a serene swamp, with a stop in everyone’s favorite North Carolina mountain town of Asheville along the way.

The Park: A little over 12 million. That’s how many people visited the 500,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park last year. That’s the bad news. The good news? Most of those people stick to the scenic roads and short nature trails, which means the best way to ditch the crowds is to hit the backcountry. Head to the less crowded eastern side of the park accessed at a remote entrance to the park off of Heintooga Ridge Road to backpack or trail run the 13.8-mile Hemphill Bald Loop , which cruises along at 5,000 feet in elevation across mountain top meadows before sinking deep into a forest of old growth poplars, babbling trout streams, and remote campsites.

Need to Know: Backcountry Camp 41 is the best campsite for this loop, and requires a permit ($4 per night).

Stay: Under Canvas has brought their high-end safari style tents to the Smokies with a 200-acre glamping resort complete with on-site guides and chefs to help you make the most of your time in the park. Expect glamping at its best with king-sized beds, private bathrooms, and delicious meals. From $199.

Eat and Drink: Skip the trail-town madness in Gatlinburg and head to the much quieter Townsend, where traditional Southern fare is given an upscale treatment at the Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro . What isn’t grown onsite is sourced locally. Cheese plates are dressed with home-grown figs, and local trout is paired with tomato jam and grits.

Adventure Along the Drive: North of the Smokies, just outside of Asheville, The Riveter combines professionally built bike jump lines with a 16,000-square foot climbing gym, yoga studio, and bar. Send it inside and out, then cross the street and grab a beer at Sierra Nevada’s sprawling East Coast campus.

Detour: The West doesn’t have a monopoly on epic rivers. The Chattooga River in Georgia offers 20 miles of class III-V whitewater in a pristine setting that’s designated Wild and Scenic and was the filming ground for the cult classic film Deliverance . It’s one of the most unique rafting experiences you can get on the East Coast because the number of rafters is limited and groups are spaced out to preserve the remote nature of the river. Knock out eight-mile section 4 for the biggest rapids, or combine sections 3 and 4 as an overnighter with a riverside camp.

Columbia South Carolina to Miami, Florida

Distance: 700 miles

Route: You’ll explore Congaree National Park first and then head south. Sure, this is a long drive down I-95, but think about where you’re headed: Florida’s parks are the domain of white-sand beaches, marine life, and other-wordly wetlands. Plan to take it slow with plenty of stops along the way.

The Park: Congaree National Park doesn’t get the recognition of its neighbor the Smokies, but don’t let the lack of hype—or crowds—deter you. The landscape is unlike any other, as the park protects the largest expanse of old growth bottomland forest in the east. The best way to explore the park is by boat, paddling a canoe along Cedar Creek, where a marked 15-mile trail takes you through gnarled cypress knees and loblolly pines that reach more than 100 feet tall.

Need to know: There’s no current in the creek, so it’s an ideal out-and-back paddling adventure. Show up with your own boats, or rent one in Columbia at River Runner Outdoor Center (canoes are $50 a day).

Stay: Congaree is just 30 minutes from downtown Columbia, where the 41-room Hotel Trundle has transformed three historic buildings into a den of modern comfort. And it’s just a block off Columbia’s vibrant Main Street. From $185.

Eat and Drink: In South Carolina, pimento cheese is an art form and DiPrato ’s makes arguably the best in the state. The hot paninis and meatball subs are worthy, too, but it’s the traditional, or smoked gouda and bacon, pimento cheese that keeps the lights on.

Adventure Along the Drive: On your way south from Columbia, don’t miss stopping in the middle of Florida, which is a veritable jungle punctuated by hundreds of natural cold springs that bubble out of the earth and form crystal clear pools and rivers beneath the lush foliage. In the town of Orange City, Blue Spring State Park has a series of springs that feed the St. John’s River, which is a manatee preserve that protects more than 700 of the lumbering sea cows. Paddle the river to spy the manatees, or swim and snorkel your way up the spring to the boil, where the water emerges from the earth.

Miami, Florida to Homestead, Florida

Distance: 40 miles

The Route: While the mileage isn’t high, you’ll want to allow a few days to explore Everglades and Biscayne Bay national parks. The parks are only 20 miles apart, but offer completely different ecosystems and experiences.

The Park: Everglades National Park is huge—roughly 1.5 million acres—and it’s easy to find solitude in this giant “River of Grass” because most visitors stick to the sub-mile long nature trails and air-conditioned trams. Hop in a kayak or on an SUP and hit one of the dozens of established paddling trails, and you’re all but guaranteed a solo adventure. May through November is the wet season, so expect 90-degree temps with daily afternoon thunderstorms and a lot of mosquitos. But the higher water levels make for the best paddling, and if you get after it early, you can be drinking a beer in a bar before the worst of the heat and thunderstorms hit. Head to Flamingo, the southernmost point in the park, where a variety of marked trails begin. Noble Hammock Trail is a two-mile loop that cruises narrow creeks and small ponds lined with mangroves.

The Park: Sitting in the shadow of Miami, Biscayne Bay National Park is 95 percent water, protecting a tangle of coral reefs, islands, and mangrove forests off the east coast of Florida. Boca Chita Key, with its iconic lighthouse, is the most popular destination, and it has a picture-perfect sandy beach if you’re looking for Insta-gold. But the best of the park sits below the water’s surface along the Maritime Heritage Trail, which links six different historic shipwrecks. Most of these wrecks are shallow enough to be explored via snorkel. You’ll also be able to visit the Fowey Rocks Lighthouse, which rises 130 feet from the water and attracts varied marine wildlife below the surface.

Need to Know: Get a permit if you want to turn your paddle into an overnight adventure in the Everglades. Bring your own boat or rent one from Flamingo Adventures . A boat is a necessity to truly explore Biscayne Bay. You can rent kayaks at the Dante Fascell Visitors Center, or try a guided adventure with the Biscayne Bay National Park Institute , which offers a variety of snorkel and SCUBA trips starting at $109 a person.

Stay: If you’re fighting mosquitoes in the Everglades, you’ve earned a splurge. This Ritz-Carlton Key Bicayne property sits on Key Biscayne, a five-mile-long barrier island just north of Biscayne Bay National Park and within half an hour of the Everglades. (The Florida Keys are just to the south, too.) While you can see the high rises of Miami from the resort, you avoid all the hustle and bustle. The resort has its own golden-sand beach, beachside cabanas, and rooms that overlook the bay (from $440 a night). Meanwhile camping in Florida gets good in the fall and winter when the temperatures drop and the mosquitoes hibernate. Boca Chita Key Campground offers boat-access-only camping on an island inside Biscayne Bay National Park (sites start at $25 a night). It’s primitive (there’s no running water), but you’ll camp beneath palm trees with the bay just steps away.

Eat and Drink: Ceviche is an art form in Miami and CVI.CHE 105E , a Peruvian restaurant and bar in downtown Miami, has been at the forefront of the art scene for more than a decade. You’ll find half a dozen different ceviche options on the menu using white fish, locally-caught seafood, and their signature “leche de tigre” broth.

Detour: Heading further south in Florida, try your hand at looking for tasty crustaceans in the warm water of the Keys. Lobster season in Florida runs August to March. There’s a strict six lobster limit, and municipalities have different rules as to where you can catch them. Get a permit and check in with the local dive shop about ordinances. A variety of charters offer guided lobster adventures that will have you snorkeling several feet below the surface to tickle the bugs out of their hiding places.

Editor’s note: As of press time, parts of Florida were still recovering from Hurricane Ian. Of the places listed, we suggest waiting to visit the Florida Keys, as the islands suffered severe flooding and damage during the storm. Miami, Everglades National Park, and Biscayne Bay received minor damage from the storm. Allyson Gantt, a public relations officer for Everglades National Park, says the Everglades fared well in the storm: “Clean up was minimal and things are mostly back to normal. We had locals wanting to get into the park the day after the storm. Come on down. Our local communities will appreciate it.”

If you’re visiting Florida soon, consider volunteering in a local community. Volunteer Florida organizes current needs and opportunities, from delivering hot meals to working with the American Red Cross.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leaves Road Trip Early, Jalen Williams OUT vs Pacers

The OKC Thunder will be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the remainder of the road trip as Jalen Williams is listed as out against the Pacers.

• Author: Rylan Stiles

In this story:

The Oklahoma City Thunder (52-24) continue their five-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers on Friday without their top two scorers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Iquad) and Jalen Williams (ankle) are both listed as out for this contest.

With the Thunder on the verge of their first three-game losing skid of the season, head coach Mark Daigneault updated the media on the status of their star player ahead of Friday's game. The Thunder bench boss announced that Gilgeous-Alexander has been sent back home to Oklahoma City.

"We need to make sure he doesn't decondition during this time and gym access on the road is much more difficult to come by," Daigneault explained.

This will rule Gilgeous-Alexander out for Sunday's road finale against the Charlotte Hornets before the team joins the MVP candidate back in Oklahoma City for a four-game home stand to end the regular season.

Williams was listed as doubtful throughout the day, and despite going through shoot-around , the team's second-best scorer will not be able to give it a go tonight in Indiana.

Unlike Gilgeous-Alexander's status, Williams's playing status is still murky regarding Sunday's trip to the Queen City.

The Pacers are fighting for the right to stay in the top-six out east with the Miami Heat just a half-game back set to push them back to the Play-in Tournament. The Thunder sit a game back of first place in the Western Conference.

How to Tell If Someone Hacked Into Your Google Account (And What to Do Next)

Toggle Dark Mode

Whether watching YouTube videos or accessing email, nearly everyone uses Google in one form or another. You probably want to keep your account secure regardless of how you use Google. You wouldn’t want anyone gaining access to your private emails or personal files. You can try to monitor your accounts and look daily for changes not made by you, but that is time-consuming and nearly impossible if you have a ton of information stored on Google. There is an easier way to check for unauthorized access by letting Google do some work for you. Continue reading to learn how.

Check for Unknown Devices

The fastest and easiest way to monitor your account is through the security settings for your Google account. You can use this direct link to access the security settings.

You also can open your Google account and select Manage Your Google Account , then Security .

Once in the security settings, you can choose “ Manage All Devices .” Under the heading for “Your Devices,” you will see all the devices that have signed in to your account for the past 28 days.

Browse this list of devices carefully to ensure you recognize each one. You’ll see the device type (Mac, iPhone 13, iPad, and so on) and the last time you used the login. You may want to use this time to remove any older devices you no longer use.

If there is a device you don’t recognize, you should remove it immediately by selecting “More Details” and then “Sign Out” You also can click on the three dots on the left side of each device to open a drop-down menu. You can also choose to sign out of the device from this menu.

Even Microsoft tries to nudge you toward paying monthly for their Suite 365. The good news is that you don't have to. iDrop News readers can get lifetime access to MS Office at 85% off the normal price...Get It Here

Check Unwanted Third-Party Apps and Sign-Ins

Another way hackers can tap into your Google account is through mobile apps and website logins. To secure this part of your account, you should go to the permissions center in your Google account and review all the listed apps and services.

You will see the listed apps first. Each entry will list the app’s name and what it has access to, such as Gmail, Google Docs, contacts, etc. You can click on an app entry and select “Remove access” to remove it from tapping into your account.

Google also lets you use your credentials to log into websites and services. Below the third-party apps is a list of all the sites you log in to with your Google account. Similar to the apps, you can remove these websites and services by selecting the login you want to remove and selecting “Remove Access.”

Change Your Password

After cleaning up your Google account , you should probably change the password. Switching it regularly protects your account even if your password is leaked because of an unexpected data breach. If you change your password frequently, you can rest easy knowing that the now publicly-available password is no longer valid.

You can change your password as follows:

• Open your Google Account and sign in if needed.
• Under the “Security” menu select Signing into Google.
• Choose Password. You might need to sign in again.
• Enter your new password, then select Change Password.

Once you change your password, you’ll have to log in again on all your devices and apps with this new password.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

For added security, you can enable two-factor authentication on your Google account. This extra security requires you to confirm your identity using another device. It significantly reduces the chance someone can access your account. Not only would someone have to know your username and password, but they would also need access to your phone.

It only takes a few minutes to enable two-factor authentication on your Google account.

• Open your Google Account.
• In the navigation panel, select Security.
• Under “Signing in to Google,” select 2-Step Verification and then Get started.
• Follow the on-screen steps to enable 2FA.

Once two-factor authentication is enabled, you must confirm your identity every single time you log in. You will receive and need to enter a short numeric code that Google will send you via a text or voice message. Just be careful not to give someone else this code. It is the last line of protection from hackers and scammers.

Full injury report for tyrese maxey, sixers vs. spurs to finish road trip, share this article.

The Philadelphia 76ers will finish their 3-game road trip on Sunday when they pay a visit to the San Antonio Spurs. The Sixers have won four in a row and are looking to finish off a 3-0 trip and return home for the final thee games of the regular season.

When the Sixers take on the Spurs, they will be a bit short-handed. Once again, De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) are out for this contest. Kyle Lowry (rest) and Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) are also out against the Spurs.

As for Tyrese Maxey (left hip tightness) and Tobias Harris (left knee contusion), they are questionable against the Spurs.

Embiid played in Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies. It makes sense to sit him in the second night of back-to-back.

De’Anthony Melton and Robert Covington also remain out tonight. Kyle Lowry is also out tonight due to rest. Tyrese Maxey (left hip tightness) and Tobias Harris (left knee contusion) are listed as questionable. #Sixers — Ky Carlin (@Ky_Carlin) April 7, 2024

Tip off from the Frost Bank Center is set for 7 p.m. EDT. The Sixers need to take advantage of a struggling Spurs team to move up in the standings.

Top li doctor killed when she flies out of door of airstream trailer — still clutching handle — during family road trip.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A prominent Long Island pediatrician was killed when she tumbled out of a moving Airstream trailer — still clutching the door’s handle — and onto an upstate highway during a family road trip over the weekend, according to state police and kin.

Dr. Monika Woroniecka — a 58-year-old married mom and children’s allergy and immunology specialist with Stony Brook Medicine — was in the 2024 silver trailer with other family members when she fell through the door shortly after 3 p.m. and onto State Route 12E in Watertown in a freak accident,  said police  and family.

Woroniecka’s husband, Robert, 59, was driving the gray 2019 Ram pickup truck pulling the trailer at the time, according to a press release.

Motorists who witnessed the frightening fatal fall said the passenger-side door of the Airstream flew open, helped by the wind — while the doctor was clutching its handle, police said.

The helpless woman landed on the shoulder of the highway, striking her head.

She was rushed to Samaritan Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. 

The traffic accident came as Woroniecka and other relatives boarded the trailer for the final 20 minutes of a road trip from Stony Brook, LI, where the family lives, the troopers said.

The victim worked at Stony Brook Medicine since the early 2000s, according to her medical profile .

“She enjoys working with children and their families and developing a long-term relationship with families while guiding them through chronic allergy-related conditions,” the profile said.  “Dr. Woroniecka’s native language is Polish [and] draws Polish-speaking families from far distances.

“Dr. Woroniecka likes to travel, hike, exercise, and spend time with family and friends,” the post adds.

Her grieving family acknowledged to The Post on Sunday that the victim was a doctor on the island, as did the state police, but both declined further comment.

Officials at Stony Brook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Cavs leave road trip ‘disappointed’ following painful loss against Clippers

• Updated: Apr. 08, 2024, 3:39 a.m. |
• Published: Apr. 08, 2024, 3:28 a.m.

LOS ANGELES — When the Cavs arrived in Denver on March 30 for the start of a measuring-stick-type five-game road trip against some of the league’s elite, they were filled with hope and optimism, believing it would be a chance to build some conviction, confidence, rhythm and momentum heading into the playoffs.

Cleveland was third in the Eastern Conference at the time and star guard Donovan Mitchell had just returned from a six-game absence caused by a nasal fracture and achy left knee.

But on Sunday night, just nine days later, the free-falling Cavs were dejectedly walking out of Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena following a crushing road-trip-capping loss to the Clippers — a game in which Cleveland led for nearly 45 minutes, collapsed in the second half, blew a 26-point lead and dropped to the East’s fifth seed.

“Disappointed. We needed this win,” said defense-first swingman Isaac Okoro who made his return after four games on the sidelines tending to a sore big toe. “Just a very disappointing loss. Think we all know right now we need wins. Wanted this one bad.”

The Cavs are aware of the standings. They’ve been paying attention. Going 3-7 over their last 10 has them in a precarious position, staring at the possibility of a first-round showdown with rival New York — the series no one in Cleveland should want given the numerous matchup complications and the team’s vulnerable state. It’s the worst-case scenario given the expectations, pressure and importance of getting out of Round One.

“This one hurt,” Cavs guard Darius Garland said when asked about the Clippers’ loss. “We move on to the next one. Three more games left in the season. Have to up our intensity and up our focus so we can win these next three and look forward to the (playoffs).”

“We should’ve had it,” Evan Mobley added. “Everyone feels like we should’ve had it. We didn’t finish. That’s it.”

At various points Sunday afternoon, given the stakes, the caliber of opponent and who was missing (Mitchell), it felt like Cleveland was headed for one of its most monumental wins of the season.

The broken offense seemed fixed. The Cavs were playing fast — a 109 first-half pace, which is more than six ticks higher than the league’s fastest team. They were getting easy baskets and putting relentless pressure on the Clippers’ defense before it could get set. Decision-making was sound and passes were sharp, with only four first-half turnovers. The ball was popping, dishing out 18 assists on 29 made shots. Numerous players were involved — four Cavaliers in double figures. The inside-outside scoring breakdown was nearly even. Bodies were moving.

By the end of the first half, the Cavs had erupted for 80 points — the most in any half this season. They were boasting a dazzling 148.1 offensive rating.

It was the kind of surgical precision that had been missing for weeks.

But inconsistency has been this team’s bugaboo, especially in the season’s maddening second half. It reared its ugly head again Sunday.

Over the final 24 minutes, the Cavs mustered just 38 points on an abysmal 13 of 40 (32.5%) shooting and 2 of 12 (16.6%) from 3-point range. Their pace slowed to crawl (91.0). Their second-half offensive rating cratered to 82.6. They had seven miscues, which the Clippers turned into 14 points. Three of Cleveland’s Sunday starters — Caris LeVert, Max Strus and Mobley — combined for six total points on 2 of 18 shooting in the second half. LeVert went scoreless.

“The opportunity was there for us,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “Couldn’t make any shots in the second half.”

The defense, which has also regressed during this miserable month, wasn’t much better.

Los Angeles scored 61 points in the final two quarters. Thirty-four of those came in the fourth. Nine-time All-Star Paul George tallied 23 in the final frame, outscoring Cleveland by himself. Fittingly, he also had the game-winning shot — an isolation that ended with George canning a cold-blooded 20-foot jumper with Mobley, the primary defender, on the floor after taking a wrong step at the worst possible time.

“We tried to make it as difficult on him as we could. But it’s hard to defend the free-throw line as well,” Bickerstaff said when asked about the approach to defending George. “Felt our guys did a really good job of playing position defense and staying between him and the basket. He got to the line quite a bit. Try to make it tough on him, make him take difficult shots, make him play in a crowd. But he’s a heck of a player for a reason.”

Multiple players openly questioned the defensive strategy afterward. They wondered why the Cavs didn’t attempt to blitz the scorching George and force someone else to play offensive hero.

“Tried to force him to take tough shots and stuff like that,” Mobley said. “But he kept making them and kept getting what he wanted. Feel like we probably should’ve tried to change some things and thrown something else at him, forced them to do something else.”

“Tough. He’s a Hall-of-Famer,” Garland said of George’s late-game outburst. “What can you say? Hit some tough shots. Made a tough shot over Ev for the game. Tip our hat off to him.”

When asked what else the Cavs could’ve done to slow George, the 24-year-old Garland pointed to a schematic tweak.

“Double him. Try to get the ball out of his hand,” Garland said. “He’s a Hall-of-Famer and he’s going to make tough shots and tough buckets. That’s what he does and what he gets paid the big bucks for.”

A cross-country trek that featured anger and frustration in the aftermath of a 29-point opening-trip blowout loss ended with those same vibes.

The Cavs have three regular-season games remaining. All of them at home. Two against below-.500 teams — the caliber of opponent they have feasted on. Time to regroup. There’s still an opportunity to right the sinking ship and move back up the standings.

But as they left for a more-than-four-hour flight back to Cleveland, it was clear that this team was wounded. Sunday was a devastating capper to the road trip, leaving a one-time East contender searching and reeling.
