I would love to see more of the country and spend a month or two traveling to states I've never visited. The spirit is willing but the bank account is weak! Any ideas on how two can travel cheaply by car and find reasonably priced accommodation and meals for stopovers? I wouldn't need anything fancy, just functional. No fleapits!

I'm not a tourist trap kind of girl. I like quieter nature spots and historic buildings, not crowds and busy cities or theme park attractions. I'd rather be outdoors than in. States I've visited include AR, AL, CA, and TN. Anywhere different that would suit my pocket would be great.
