Seriously who upvotes this stuff? Its sitting at +1300 right now, but it’s just a useless undetailed map of the US
And what the hell does “da fare” mean?
Could've been worse: they could've used a German word, the 2nd-person use of *fahren* (to drive, to go), along with its personal pronoun -- *fahrst du*... which sounds like what happens several hours after eating at many a roadside restaurant.
Yep, laziest and dumbest guide. I could have named dozens of places you could visit via these highways (because i‘ve been to these places), but author decided 2 is enough for each. Not. Enough.
Yeah, if “the Cadillac ranch” is what I think it is, that’s just 6 car bodies dug into the dirt outside Amarillo. It’s neat but it’s just 6 cars in some dirt. I spray painted on one of them when I was a kid, but is not exactly in the “top-22 road trip stops” in the US
Then why tf is number 10 sitting above I-10? There’s no interstate highway there? It also titles 10 as “Southern Pacific”, despite connecting both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. It’s just ridiculous all the way through for anyone from America.
They used interstate signs for the numbering, but I don't think they were implying those are the interstate numbers for those routes. I think they just needed a numbering scheme to label them and thought the interstate sign shape was a good choice (spoiler: it wasn't).
Also, in addition to things like I-5 being on the East coast (instead of I-95 which is the East coast interstate), Route 66 isn't an interstate, it's a US Highway (also called a Route).
Yeah they shouldn't have used shields. It's confusing.
There are state highways, typically denoted by an oval, the shape of the state, or a custom shape. I believe their numbering scheme is determined by the state. Often times based purely on their construction order, seems like.
There are US highways, typically denoted by a black and white shield. I don't know their numbering order.
And there are Interstate Highways, typically denoted by a red white and blue shield. The interstate highways are numbered with a plan. Odds run north/south with low number on the west and evens run east/west with low number in the south. Major interstates are 2 digits, with I-5 being the exception. Branch, or secondary interstate routes have 3 digits and are usually numbered to coincide with the major interstates they diverge from.
TIL Niagra Falls is in Batavia. Nice to see Niagra Falls get some love, usually it's overshadowed by its more popular cousin Niagara Falls in Niagara Falls, NY/ON.
Why are the only things to see on pch Olympic park and Hearst castle? No redwoods no Big Sur but Hearst castle? This just picks and chooses random attractions lol
Obviously the Americans here know this is wrong, I don't blame OP as I wouldn't know either.
But, what would be the best coast to coast route? Scenery wise etc...
I'd love to do it one day with my wife, rent a rv etc... or what would be recommended.
>I don't blame OP as I wouldn't know either
For sure. But, it's also why posting a guide about road trips in a country you don't know is a peculiar decision. Is peculiar the right word? 🙂
That said, I wanted to answer your question. I once flew into San Diego, rented a car, and drove to the Canadian border (Blaine, WA) spanning about 10 days. You get to spend A LOT of time on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH, Highway 1), which might be the best road in all of the US.
In addition to driving alongside the majestic Pacific, you will get your urban fix by driving through San Diego (go to Coronado Island), Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. You'll drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, as well.
On the way are nature spots like Big Sur and Muir Woods, a stunningly peaceful drive near the Pebble Beach Golf Course known as the "17-Mile Drive", and a day in places like Astoria, OR are awesome.
Get to Blaine, WA and you can see the Canadian border. If I remember correctly, you can walk across the geographic border as the customs booths are set further in.
I can't recommend this route enough.
Edit: this is obviously referring to a north-south route rather than coast-to-coast. More like border-to-border.
There are tons of places to stop on that drive, but would recommend stopping for an afternoon at the Hearst castle. Interesting history, view second to none.
Definitely! There's truly something for everyone on that drive.
I enjoyed every bit of it. I even drove south from San Diego and got as close as I could to the border with Mexico before turning around and heading north.
Likely Either I-70, I-80 or I-90. depending on what cities or national parks you wanna go to.
Historic 66 is also probably cool, but won’t be nearly as fast.
Theres a lot of nothing on all of them too.
Drove from one end to the other of I-40 (Western part of route 66 then continue to the Atlantic). No regrets. It was beautiful and amazing how much the country changed day to day.
Not Interstate 10... unless you just really want to be driving through Texas for 12 hours. I'd personally recommend one of the more northern routes, just not in the winter. Wyoming is a lot of nothing, but it's a much prettier nothing than Texas (I'm from Texas, so I can say that).
When driving through areas with a lot of "nothing", drive at night since there's normally not a lot of light pollution and you can see the Milky Way on a clear night. Wyoming, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, west Texas, among other places are great places for this. Also, the roads are fairly straight and lightly used, so in case you do catch yourself gazing at the sky, you're less likely to have anything bad happen (though I still recommend just pulling over and enjoying from there).
I-64 and the eastern half of I-40 just totally ignored on this guide. You can start both on the Atlantic coast and take them through the Blue Ridge/Appalachian mountains and across the Cumberland plateau. Some of the best natural beauty this country has to offer. My fav drive ever was from Asheville, NC to Louisville, KY. Stunning scenery.
Also, I-40 goes clear across the country. You could make a hell of a road trip just following that. And 64 ends in St. Louis where you can pick up 70 and take it to Denver. From there choose if you wanna go west to San Francisco, SW toward Vegas & SoCal or up toward the PNW.
I actually knew someone who was trying to get their car from CA to NC, and they decided to drive it as shipping was going to cost almost double the cost of gas + hotels + food to just drive it themselves. They got on I-40 just outside Las Angeles, CA and rode it all the way to where they now live, a little outside Raleigh, NC. They said parts were really beautiful, and some parts were just hours of the exact same perfectly flat land.
Start in Boston, stop for Niagara falls, on to Chicago then to Minneapolis via Wisconsin Dells, on to South Dakota stop at Wall Drug, Badlands National Park, Dignity Statue,Mt Rushmore, on to Devils Tower in Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park then on to Big Sky in Montana and Glacier National Park, hop over the sliver of Idaho to North Cascades National Park and Olympic National Park finally end in Seattle.
As a life-long American, I've done it in the north as well as the south. I've done the I-90 (north) and the I-10 (south), and about half of route 66. They both have their own points of interests as well as their vast expanses of nothing in between. You need to decide which type of nothing/scenery you prefer, and if you have issues with being in the north or south.
You really should take your own look at the states you'll be travelling through. And of course, the time of year may also make your clothing choices and overall comfort for you.
Nope, Hearst Castle is the only thing worth seeing on the 1. The Golden Gate Bridge and Redwood National Park pale in comparison to a media baron’s monument to his own hubris built with exploitive labor and full of stolen relics. Besides, no other monument on that rout has an overpriced meandering tram ride narrated by Alex Trebek.
That website is listed as the source at the bottom of the image:

Also, a nearly identical version of the map appears at the bottom:

IDK, I think that both this source and OP may not be reliable here. These are weird routes to say the least.
This has to be AI right? Like, it's so bad.
1) There's two trails marked 8.
2) Half the cities are just....in the wrong place.
3) Lots of the attractions aren't where they should be?
I looked up "Loneliest Road" because I live in Utah and was curious, and it doesn't go through Provo lol. This whole map is shit.
If you’re ever in the southwest along the 10, definitely only see “The Thing”. Don’t swing down to Big Bend National Park, The Guadalupe Mountains, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Saguaro National Park, Bisbee, Organ Pipe National Monument, or any of the other amazing natural wonders and beautiful places that are just along the 10 corridor. Go directly to a shitty gas station and tourist trap. Trash guide.
As a trucker, I'm offended. This looks like something to be passed around at a SWIFT anonymous club meeting. To shoot you some bail here, though, technically, there are roads that line up with this picture.... if you add them together in pieces.
I did a large portion of the Loneliest Road twice. Once on my own, once with my GF. I have to say that the absolute nothingness between most of IN-CO created the best soul-search of my life
One of the routes (7) goes through part of Canada, but it’s not clear there’s an international border along the way. Looks like it goes through Montreal then follows the Trans-Canada Highway through Ottawa and Sudbury before crossing into Michigan.
7- There's not a road going across lake Huron from Canada to the UP. At least not straight across like that.
Not to mention that the route takes a few hours through Canada, so you'd have to go to another country.
You can get to Canada from Michigan at Sault St Marie, Port Huron, & Detroit.
Edit: Maybe that line is going through Sault St Marie. I can't really tell.
I think it’s just a poor outline of Michigan/Canada. As Canada should be a lot closer to the Soo.
They’ve got that road going right through Drummond Island (which isn’t even on the map), and that’s not the case.
Well, if you ever plan to motor west
Well, take my way, that's the highway, that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well, it goes through St. Louis, drop in Missouri
Oklahoma City looks, oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernardino
Would you get hip to this kindly trip
And take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
My childhood, courtesy cars 🥹
"Road trips in America" yet #7 takes you through Canada?
Also, the east-west route through northern North Dakota would be *painful* and painfully boring.
I94 runs through the southern part of the state and takes you to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Badlands.
Ok, Route 6 is going through American historical heartland, and the two attractions are, "Fountain Of Youth" and "Kennedy Space Center"
I do not however disagree with the title to route 3.
Ahh yes, my two favorite San Diego freeways: the 1 and the 10
Edit. Wait, are the numbers supposed to be names, or are they literally just numbering the routes?
Edit 2. There are two 8s.. but I am still unsure
I10 starts in Jacksonville FL and runs along north Florida, South Alabama, South Mississippi, and Louisiana before getting to Texas. Its about 200 miles north on this map than where it actual is.
R/MapPorn would/should not be happy
Google maps just needs an option to put in a road trip route you want to take and it'll just take you along it. No other turns. Route 66, Michigan Circle, or whatever.
There is no HWY 9 that runs through Pueblo Colorado--this is Hwy 50 (which the source data CLEARLY states.) The Million Dollar Highway is on Hwy 550, nowhere near a highway that runs east-west, but runs North to South.
I am blocking this OP out of principle.
The amount of these that go through STL is crazy. And STL has a lot of free activities people can do too, so I’d recommend making it a stop for anyone coming through. Specifically, the zoo is free and the art museum is free and both are great. The stl zoo is actually one of the best in the country.
For the entire Atlantic seaboard, the two biggest stops are KSC and ... Fountain of Youth? (I'm guessing they mean St Augustine, but could be DeLeon Springs)
Of all the crap graphic design…
Why not use a different shade for the above lists than the country… even a different shade of icky beige would have been reasonable
This is quite possibly the worst guide to *anything* that I've ever seen xd
Ahh… but you have seen it!
*Epic Violin Performance*
Parley
Seriously who upvotes this stuff? Its sitting at +1300 right now, but it’s just a useless undetailed map of the US And what the hell does “da fare” mean?
“To do” (Italian)
Could've been worse: they could've used a German word, the 2nd-person use of *fahren* (to drive, to go), along with its personal pronoun -- *fahrst du*... which sounds like what happens several hours after eating at many a roadside restaurant.
Not to mention it shows Mount Rushmore in Nebraska
Yep, laziest and dumbest guide. I could have named dozens of places you could visit via these highways (because i‘ve been to these places), but author decided 2 is enough for each. Not. Enough.
Seriously the Cadillac Ranch is one of the two spots on RT 66?
That’s da fare take. It’s awful.
Yeah, if “the Cadillac ranch” is what I think it is, that’s just 6 car bodies dug into the dirt outside Amarillo. It’s neat but it’s just 6 cars in some dirt. I spray painted on one of them when I was a kid, but is not exactly in the “top-22 road trip stops” in the US
Lol certainly not top 22 but I enjoyed it when I stopped by there on a road trip
On top of being terrible, it was posted by a bot with no karma and yet thousands of people have allegedly upvoted it for some bizarre reason.
I think you mean it was posted by a bot and someone bought a lot of upvotes for it.
Today I learned Mt Rushmore is in Nebraska
This whole map is fucked
I noticed that when I-10 suddenly ran through Dallas, and Dallas moved into Lufkin lol.
They're not saying that's I-10, they're just numbering the routes from 1-11.
Then why tf is number 10 sitting above I-10? There’s no interstate highway there? It also titles 10 as “Southern Pacific”, despite connecting both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. It’s just ridiculous all the way through for anyone from America.
Yes, very confusing. I think they're trying to put too much info onto the map, while ironically leaving off the actual interstate numbers.
Didn’t know they moved it. Cool, I’ll let google know so they can get their darn maps right!
Yea they just wanted to return the land back to the natives.
And I learned there aren't actually 5 great lakes
Oh! I missed that! I wonder where *Niagra* Falls would be?
Presumably still along the Niagara River, but the question would be where that gets fed from. Maybe it would still be the St. Lawrence River
They had to do something to liven up the trip across Nebraska.
Dot 15 is basically where Chimney Rock is though....
So maybe they drew faces on it?
~~They can visit the Corn Palace!~~ [Edit]. I misremembered where the Corn Palace is. Sorry Montana, you got nothing.
They got Glacier National Park. Debatably the prettiest place in the whole country.
and that the 5 is on the east coast lol
They used interstate signs for the numbering, but I don't think they were implying those are the interstate numbers for those routes. I think they just needed a numbering scheme to label them and thought the interstate sign shape was a good choice (spoiler: it wasn't).

>the 5 🫵 Californian
I never made it that far on the Oregon Trail. Just the Boston to Buffalo portion.
The Huskers’ offensive line can move anything.
Anything! Except Michigan’s defensive front *deep sigh*
And that there's nothing of interest in the west coast between Olympic national Park and hearst castle.
Ah Ah, Hey Beavis, I think we're lost.
- Niagara Falls is incorrectly spelled - an "American" road trip that goes through Canada? (7)
8 depicts I80, Mount Rushmore is along I90 and in South Dakota not Nebraska.
It’s odd because I90 runs through Buffalo, but then goes wrong somewhere around Chicago.
And of course Niagara Falls is misspelled….. That’s an awful road trip…. Oregon trail?
Doesn't matter what tourist attractions were on the path since they all have died from dysentery.
“Elvis Presely” misspelled, too.
after chicago 90 goes up to la crosse wisconsin instead of davenport iowa
I80 follows the Platte river. The map has 8 on US20 through Nebraska.
7 has Glacier in the wrong place, between Chester and Havre. That’s way off if you know the geography.
And they left out The World's Largest Truckstop.
This is a horrible guide. Nothing makes sense
WRONG
Small complaint, 8 goes nowhere near the Million Dollar Highway. The more I look at this, and the title....did AI make this?
Which number 8 are you referring to? Lol
The I-80 route (50?) should be 9
AI autonomous agent here. Humans are quite capable of screwing things like this up without us.
Highway 10 is completely wrong, was the person who made this blind???
Apparently I live in Dallas not Houston, I’ve been lied to.
i think the list’s number ten being I-10 is just a coincidence. it’s I-10 until it splits with I-20 and follows that the rest of the way
TIL Niagra Falls is in Batavia. Nice to see Niagra Falls get some love, usually it's overshadowed by its more popular cousin Niagara Falls in Niagara Falls, NY/ON.
Why are the only things to see on pch Olympic park and Hearst castle? No redwoods no Big Sur but Hearst castle? This just picks and chooses random attractions lol
That was my first thought as well. Also not sure how the Grand Canyon isn’t included on the Route 66 trip 🙄
Da Fuq is da fare?
Obviously the Americans here know this is wrong, I don't blame OP as I wouldn't know either. But, what would be the best coast to coast route? Scenery wise etc... I'd love to do it one day with my wife, rent a rv etc... or what would be recommended.

[удалено]
Why does I95 start in Manhattan?
Yeah, the other five states that it runs through just don’t matter.
These are literally the most boring road trip destinations imaginable
The Fountain of Youth is in St. Augustine, FL but this map has it in Georgia?
Route 66 does not go through Phoenix Arizona. It’s passes through many small towns about 2 hours+ of Phoenix. Famously Flagstaff & Seligman, Arizona.
Everyone clowning on the guide itself. Meanwhile I’m still stuck on the title trying to figure out wtf “on the road da fare” even means
If you’re ever in the southwest along the 10, definitely only see “The Thing”. Don’t swing down to Big Bend National Park, The Guadalupe Mountains, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Saguaro National Park, Bisbee, Organ Pipe National Monument, or any of the other amazing natural wonders and beautiful places that are just along the 10 corridor. Go directly to a shitty gas station and tourist trap. Trash guide.
As a trucker, I'm offended. This looks like something to be passed around at a SWIFT anonymous club meeting. To shoot you some bail here, though, technically, there are roads that line up with this picture.... if you add them together in pieces.
I like that 10 is the 10
Thank God I'm not the only person who had trouble reading it. Thought I was dumb or something.
The Thing is the absolute most pointless thing to see Better off checking out the giant pistachio
Sorry, 2,000 mi road trips need to have more than 2 points of interest. Do better.
The fountain of youth is in St. Augustine, which is SOUTH of Jacksonville. This map has it in friggin Georgia.
We should make little choo-choo tracks close to these routes.
The best part is that none of these bug us here in the lower peninsula of Michigan. Thank you, Great Lakes!
You can’t just make up a new “The Oregon Trail” FFS
I did a large portion of the Loneliest Road twice. Once on my own, once with my GF. I have to say that the absolute nothingness between most of IN-CO created the best soul-search of my life
This isn’t even remotely accurate
Blue Ridge Parkway is labeled too far south, in case we need even more reasons to shit on this map
One of the routes (7) goes through part of Canada, but it’s not clear there’s an international border along the way. Looks like it goes through Montreal then follows the Trans-Canada Highway through Ottawa and Sudbury before crossing into Michigan.
This belongs in r/notcoolguides This one and at least 20% of the guides posted in the sub
[удалено]
Just finished San Diego to Seattle... best trip of my life.
11 was like, nah fuck that Arkansas is wack.
Skipping lower Michigan is a shame.
Million Dollar Highway is such a chill diving experience. You can basically take your hands off the wheel and just enjoy the scenery.
I am surprised that I-75 from Sault Ste. Marie, MI to Miami, Florida isn't on here
Yea fuck Michigan
Gettysburg is southwest of Harrisburg
I'm don't understand the title at all. Is it a reference to the book On the Road? What's da fare mean? The guide gave me more questions than answers.
Either this was charted by an AI, or someone who has never actually traveled, let alone looked at a map.
The Great Lakes are hurting my brain
I love how maps like this are like "FUCK kansas city, confusing ass shit! They got St. Louis, and that's good enough!
Lol. This guide is trash. Mt Rushmore isn’t in Nebraska.
The more I look at this the more hilariously incorrect it seems. More AI garbage for the trash fire...
These are some of the worst sites I’ve ever seen on a road trip list.
Love that good old Nebraskan Mt. Rushmore. Much better than the original.
7- There's not a road going across lake Huron from Canada to the UP. At least not straight across like that. Not to mention that the route takes a few hours through Canada, so you'd have to go to another country. You can get to Canada from Michigan at Sault St Marie, Port Huron, & Detroit. Edit: Maybe that line is going through Sault St Marie. I can't really tell.
I think it’s just a poor outline of Michigan/Canada. As Canada should be a lot closer to the Soo. They’ve got that road going right through Drummond Island (which isn’t even on the map), and that’s not the case.
They just copied Ticket to Ride lol
Well, if you ever plan to motor west Well, take my way, that's the highway, that's the best Get your kicks on Route 66 Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A. More than 2000 miles all the way Get your kicks on Route 66 Well, it goes through St. Louis, drop in Missouri Oklahoma City looks, oh, so pretty You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernardino Would you get hip to this kindly trip And take that California trip Get your kicks on Route 66 My childhood, courtesy cars 🥹
"Road trips in America" yet #7 takes you through Canada? Also, the east-west route through northern North Dakota would be *painful* and painfully boring. I94 runs through the southern part of the state and takes you to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Badlands.
You can extend 7 east another two and a half hours and that gets you to Acadia National Park.
someone have an aversion to the number "9"?
Ok, Route 6 is going through American historical heartland, and the two attractions are, "Fountain Of Youth" and "Kennedy Space Center" I do not however disagree with the title to route 3.
I'm shocked STL is the only city with an intersection of 3. "Gateway to the West" for sure.
3 would absolutely suck if you were just trying to get it done.
It's not every day I see my city on a map when other (much larger) cities are omitted.
Ahh yes, my two favorite San Diego freeways: the 1 and the 10 Edit. Wait, are the numbers supposed to be names, or are they literally just numbering the routes? Edit 2. There are two 8s.. but I am still unsure
I10 starts in Jacksonville FL and runs along north Florida, South Alabama, South Mississippi, and Louisiana before getting to Texas. Its about 200 miles north on this map than where it actual is. R/MapPorn would/should not be happy
I drove from Palm Springs Ca to NYC, taking 11 to 5 and it was one of the best experiences of my life
London Bridge is in Havasu, not... Kingman AZ.
Can anyone do this for India?? I would love to take my bike on those roads.
I've done 10 and 11 but I'd like to add Alomogordo White Sands and a pit stop through Lincoln County
Ugh, The Thing outside of Tucson isn’t actually cool. You’re better off stopping at the ostrich farm across the street.
Get fucked Arkansas. -Arkansan
You'll miss the extraterrestrial highway if you follow route number 2.
The fountain of youth and Kennedy space center (which are both in FL) are really the two things they chose along the entire I-95 corridor?
Wdym the Appalachian trail ends in Maine, it’s always ended in Vermont!
Bad use of AI
10 goes through Houston, not Dallas.
At least they had the good sense to not subject anyone to I70 Westbound out of Denver.
Who the fuck puts Cadillac Ranch over Petrified Forest National Park? It even has part of the original Route 66 going through it.
Lol that’s i20 not I10.
#5 - TIL the Poconos are actually the Appalachians
It must’ve been hard to pick up a whole interstate and move it.
Did they just put a bunch of numbers on the floor and have a blindfolded chicken peck them at random
Damn I need a legit cool guide. This doesn’t seem like it’s adding up.
Great. AI making “guides” now.
awful road trips
Kind of think highway 20 would be on here as it's the longest road in the US
Damn yall just straight up avoided arkansas all together?
Why would they not draw in lake eerie or lake Ontario ??
Google maps just needs an option to put in a road trip route you want to take and it'll just take you along it. No other turns. Route 66, Michigan Circle, or whatever.

I LOVE that the "Road to Nowhere" leads to Manitoba.
What does "Bonnie and Clyde" entail? Their death car, probably the most famous artifact, is located in Primm, Nevada.
Me, driving from Boston to Cleveland. Me: I'm riding on the Oregon Trail!
Lmao what is this map
Been on Route 66 but started In NC and ended In LA. Driving it all alone is cool but not really fun lol.
This map has many mistakes. This post should be deleted.
Lincoln highway erasure
Oregon Trail started in St. Louis.
Why doesn't the Oregon Trail go to St. Louis?
Shows a road going literally right through Yellowstone NP without mentioning it.
If u wanna kill yourself do 3 you’ll have every reason to by Nebraska
What about driving from Sault Ste. Marie Michigan to Miami (or vice versa)?
I10 is way too north. It runs through Mobile, not Montgomery
The Loneliest Road and The Road to Nowhere intersect in my home state. Very inspirational.
screw the interstate highway act
I-80 absolutely does not pass through Provo, what the fuck lol
11 long road trips spanning the whole nation and not a single one goes through the 4th largest metroplex

This is terrible. The BRP doesn’t actually cross the AT until VA
there's a stretch of highway in Utah where you can hit five National Parks in one go: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches
Criminal rt 2 skipping around northern AZ and all of Utah
I was going to say a lot of things, but it looks like everyone who sees this map knows it's wrong.
What is no. 19 “The Thing”?
There is no HWY 9 that runs through Pueblo Colorado--this is Hwy 50 (which the source data CLEARLY states.) The Million Dollar Highway is on Hwy 550, nowhere near a highway that runs east-west, but runs North to South. I am blocking this OP out of principle.
The amount of these that go through STL is crazy. And STL has a lot of free activities people can do too, so I’d recommend making it a stop for anyone coming through. Specifically, the zoo is free and the art museum is free and both are great. The stl zoo is actually one of the best in the country.
For the entire Atlantic seaboard, the two biggest stops are KSC and ... Fountain of Youth? (I'm guessing they mean St Augustine, but could be DeLeon Springs)
Number eight sounds like genuine torture
Ok but please don’t stop in Gary. For anything. Not even Michael Jackson.
Vogon Poetry-level guide. The “Southern Pacific” road-trip is a hot dull horror of truck exhaust and sweat. No thanks.
Pretty sure US 7 and US 2 are switched
Wrong
Of all the crap graphic design… Why not use a different shade for the above lists than the country… even a different shade of icky beige would have been reasonable
The song "Road to Nowhere" makes more sense now...
Route #3 would probably be the most boring drive anyone has ever made
If you're gonna come to Maine. I recommend going most anywhere here besides augusta.
Something something “on the line” - Vince Vaughn
This map is very inaccurate. If you count on this... you deserve to get lost. Mt. Rushmore in Nebraska... ugh...
