So I'm driving across the country, starting from Baltimore and ending up in the San Francisco Bay Area (where I'm moving to, woo hoo!) . I had a couple friends lined up to go with me, but they've all fallen through, so I'm doing it alone.

I'm leaving the day after Labor Day, September 5, which is fast approaching, and I still haven't decided on things to do along the way. I'm sort of at a loss in terms of ideas for places/things to see that would be condusive to this road trip. I guess I'm looking for things that wouldn't require a whole day to experience.

Specific things like the Grand Canyon would be perfect... while I'm sure you could spend forever there, you could also just get out of your car, spend a couple hours to soak it in, then be on your way. That's what I'm looking for. Doing things like 'visiting' a city would be tough, because I'd almost just want to spend an entire day in a city to experience it.

So who's got suggestions? I'm typcially looking for stuff that wouldn't be too far away from either I-70 or I-80.
