Wheee!!
I’m going to drive across the country later this month. I have a month off work and obligations, a relatively new car, and a need to go to both Western PA and Central Florida. I live in Oregon now, and am planning on driving relatively straight (across I-90 and I-80) on my way east, but I have 8 days to make it to PA, so I have time to stop or veer off the main course. From there I will drive to FL, then coming home I have another about 12 days to make it diagonally, or zig-zag, or however I choose to get back home.
What should I stop and see? I’ve driven straight from PA to OR a few times the boring (read: drive across the interstate in 2.5 days) way; this time I want adventure and scenery. (I’m going alone, so I just don’t wanna be bored.) What’s the best/most interesting/most diverse path from far SE to NW?
And, most importantly, what dopefests are going on between June 28 and July 26thish that I can crash?
