Cross country trip... anywhere else I should stop?
This is my planned cross country trip before I go to Vegas in June, with a vague itinerary:
[image]http://photobucket.com/albums/v337/dms79/?action=view&current=Junetrip.jpg[/image] Thurs: Get into Syracuse, drive to Rochester, see Red Wings AAA baseball game. Fri: Lunch in Cleveland, dinner/ChiSox game/sleep in Chicago Sat: Drive past Field of Dreams (need to alter map), sleep in S.D. Sun: Rushmore/Badlands. Mon/Tues: Yosemite Weds: Grand Tetons Thurs: Craters of the Moon Fri: Fly from Twin Falls, ID for a week in Vegas Too late to go southwest like I wanted to... it's my friend's trip, I'm tagging along. Any places I need to see near that route? Wry wit and/or outright insults appreciated. Dan

Re: Cross country trip... anywhere else I should stop?
Well then you must see the fabulous sign in Arco ID talking about the first nuke power or whatever the sign says. Craters of the moon is sort of cool, but not as interesting as tetons.
Strange to drive all that way and fly from Twin. Why? And you will have to change planes anyway in SLC. Why not just drive another 8 hours? (actually a little less) Or is friend stopping in Twin? Anyway, PM me and I can hook you up for lunch in Twin and help you avoid the Wok 'n Grill. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Cross country trip... anywhere else I should stop?
Thanks HDPM. I wish I could make the damn link work so people would bother checking it out.
The story, in a nutshell, is that my friend is driving back from Syracuse (grad school) to Oakland, and asked if I wanted to come. He nixed the idea of a a southwest passage, citing heat and "nothing to do besides the Grand Canyon." I had already made Vegas plans for the next weekend, so it works out best this way. Between this flight (TWF-SLC-LAS) and my flight this summer (OAK-DEN-RAPid City, SD), I'm gonna do more puddle jumping than I've ever done before. I love how the flight from SLC to LAS is about 25 minutes long. If you're somewhere on my journey through ID, PM me and I'll get lunch... some place non-smoking.
