I'm planning a long road trip in 26 or 27.
I want to drive by all the quirky stuff. The Cadillac's in the sand. The beaver cut outs on the side of the raod.
What do you have near you that's worth a drive by and a photo op with the fam?

I'm starting here.

If you head west, take one of the old US highways instead of an interstate. One year I drove back from Rocky Mountain National Park and took US36. Cool drive and not that much extra time.

Also, anything around the Salton Sea is wild. Check out Slab City.

11 Epic Cross-Country American Road Trips | ROAD TRIP USA

Plan an epic American road trip with 11 classic routes, including Route 66, the Pacific Coast Highway, US-2, and more cross-country drives.

www.roadtripusa.com

Bought this a while back, it has a ton of points of interest and detailed instructions along 11 routes.
.
It's worth checking out.

Looking at the site, it looks like they have a few other books dedicated to different stuff and interests. RVing, sports fields, etc
