ran into a few maintenance hiccups off the bat, but i should be good. setting out from LA this afternoon. i have about a week to get it back to north carolina. the only thing set in stone is i want to take Route 66 and then drive up through monument valley.

what else is worth seeing? candidate states are utah, southern nevada, arizona, new mexico, oklahoma, kansas, colorado, nebraska, missouri, arkansas, iowa, illinois, kentucky, tennessee.

It's a little early and cool to hit the northern route, so here's the 10-day route I took from San Diego to Greensboro when I moved in 1992:

Yuma, Old Tucson, up 77 & 87 thru Tonto and Coconino National Forests to Winslow.

Petrified Forest National Park, up 491 to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. 160 & 84 down to Santa Fe. Down to 40, gotta stop in Tucumcari and then to the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. Down to Wichita Falls.

Jump on 75 north to Muskogee and east to Ozark National Forest. After that it's up to you and the weather. Wanna head north to St. Louis and east to Louisville or go south into Memphis then to Nashville? I love St. Louis and think Nashville is really overrated, but that's me.

Never mind I read your list of states wrong. Thought it was all of the states along I-40.

If time is not a factor I’d start by driving up the California coast to San Francisco (which would be incredible on a bike), thenhead over to Lake Tahoe. Then cross Nevada into Utah and hit Monument Valley. Colorado might still be a little cold this time of year and risks a spring snow in the mountains but it could be worth it for the views. I think the southern route from Colorado into Oklahoma and through Arkansas into the Ozarks is nice. Parts of Arkansas look a lot like Western NC. Hot Springs is a fun little town and they have a horse race every year around this time. From there you have tons of options to get back to NC.

Take I-10W through Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas...not because it's awesome or anything ( the mesas  and cactus are cool and should be seen) but because everyone should experience that flat, boring, and never ending brown drive once in their lives. 2nd most boring drive in America...I-70 through Kansas.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
