Kimball, Nebraska is pretty centrally located right on I-80. "DA'ing" could become the new verb "Scudrunning".
Here are some road mileages from Kimball to...
Blaine, WA, gateway to San Juans, WA, Gulf Islands & Desolation Sound, BC: 1,395 miles via Ogden, UT, Boise, ID, Yakima, WA, etc. That's 200 miles shorter than our route from Phoenix.

Point is, now that you're retiring the world is you oyster if you have time, funds, & inclination for long road trips. I have been retired since 2010, coming up on 13 years in February & let me tell you, the time slips by faster & faster. At the age of 71 I may not have much more than another 13 years left. Certainly less than 20 active years. So if you want to do it, now's the time. Maine should have some good cruising. Bar Harbor is most distant at 2,141 miles, but you traverse western NY state on the way & could do a bit of Erie Canal on the way back after the canal opens for the season at the end of May.
