It looks like you may be biting off more than you may really want to chew. In other words, you may need a vacation when you get home, so that you can recuperate. You might find yourself more satisfied with visiting less than half the places you have on your list of places to visit - I mean, really whittle it down to only a few places, enjoy to the max the few places you visit and be satisfied that america is a real place with real beauty. Any driving trip should be encouraged to see the countryside off the interstate highway system. The interstate highway system is a 350-foot wide swath of asphalt/concrete across the USA for purposes of getting goods there quickly, but it is certainly not the way to see the USA. The best roads to travel and that offer a real view of the countryside are the US Routes, like Route 66 and other major western USA USRoutes. They provide an unmolested view of real america, instead of the view of america that some madison avenue idiot wanting you to spend your money wants you to see. None of us here live the madison avenue life that most attractions here offer. However, all of us here live within 10 miles of a USRoute across america - all wonderful and real views of america. Of course, if you want to see how the wealthy people want you to spend your money on the attractions they want you to see - knock yourself out. There are plenty of attractions put up by snake oil salesmen and shysters - especially across the western USA. Be mindful that Vegas is all a charade, a playground, an unreal vista of what america is NOT all about. Rand off - I'm done. mao
