You can learn a lot by seeing a street view of the surrounding area and it only takes a couple of minutes. I also use crimereports.com to check an area. You type in the address and it shows all the crimes reported in that area. About 75% of the police departments reports are included in that site so just about anywhere you are checking will be in there. I don't check these sites with all my planned stops but some I do, especially Walmarts I am thinking about trying.

Streetview is fantastic...It saved us one trip as the campground entrance and main road had a lot of low trees....no way I would have gotten Lucille down that road without major damage....
Crimereports is a good idea...i'll add that to my ever growing trip planning repertoire
