I am not sure if you will be able to get back in time for school but Colorado Guy went from San Deigo CA to GA in 45 days. I read his diary about the tour he took of the US to help me plan on what I may need to do my tour. I am now planning on what I will be needing to take with me even though I will be going north to south and then back north on my bicycle. I am also taking a kid hauler ( my trailer that can be used to haul kids too young to ride a bike) and those can carry 100 or more depending on the type. I am also going to suggest that you look at the way you are going ot go to find the route with the most places you will want to see and then contact the cities by email to see what information that they can send you for free. Most states and cities will send you information for free some will however charge for maps so I would also contact the bike shops in the cities you would like to go to and see what information that you can have sent to you.
