Atlanta - World of Coca Cola **Edit: It would be about an hour out of the way from Atl, but if you can fit it in (so to speak) the Stone Mountain Laser Show is definitely worth it.

Arizona - Arizona Meteor Crater, Flagstaff/Sedona (GREAT driving roads, and scenery) **Edit x2: When driving from Vegas to Grand Canyon/Flagstaff, most likely will be driving down 93. Straight, flat 2 lane state highway, very minimally patrolled outside of towns. Good spot to "open her up" a little.

You will be amazed at the fact of how flat it is and how you can see for MILES in 360*. But after 30 mins or so of it, it gets old. It will be much better in all seriousness if there is a storm... I drove through a really good one while driving through OK city, and had the lightning flashing everywhere lighting up the windmills... Was pretty epic, I have a video of it on my other comp. Pretty awesome. Other then that, the roads don't have reflectors and they don't use reflective paint for the stripes, so do that bit in the daytime.

Epic? That's Lewis and Clark territory there.

Take a detour and go through Big Sur unless you've driven on it before

Love your route Randy, mostly back roads. While you are on I10, why not drive for another 1.5 hr from I15 so you can visit LA too? US101 is beautiful also.

Wooooowwwwwww thats a long drive!

Thats my feedback

1.) Take pics
2.) Bring 100 hours of music, we will all chip in a make you a mix tape (8 volumes)
2a.) Or dont bring music and just listen to the aam short tails
3.) Long flat straights?
