So here is the deal:

I'm moving my entire life.

Starting fresh, its not really going anywhere out here. Stuck in a job, not making much use out of my career & degree.

My girlfriend and I have visited out there a few times, absolutely loved it out there.

The scenery, the weather, the people, culture, fast growth rate.

We both felt the same about the area we lived in , and a move would be a great change of pace.

So its going to happen! Why be like the majority and just talk about "what if this, that, etc" and we decided to just do it. Start life fresh before we're tied down with house payments, children, etc. Sure we'll miss our families, but they're both 3 hours apart anyways, so its rare we see both a lot anyways.



So heres the point of this thread!

For any other nomad out there, anyone who has done thier fair share of USA travels, or just adventure seekers. What should I visit?

I'm driving the entire way, 2000+ miles. I've got a car that does 38 mpg, so even with todays high fuel prices its not of any real big deal.

This is the rough path I will be taking:

Cleveland, OH
Indianapolis, Illinois
St.Louis, Missouri
Springfield, Missouri
Talsa, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City, Ok
Skipping through the northern wedge of Texas
Driving through Rt 40 New Mexico (Albuquerque'ish)

and finally from there:
From RT40 through the Painted Desert (seen it before, may stop again.)
377- 260 - finally RT 87 down to my new apartment in AZ.


I'll have my handy-dandy Garmin 660 with me, so deviations are of no problem.


So anyone who lives or knows things in those regions. Whats there to see?

Books and magazines and travel guides only give so much. The people who live there can always give so much more to offer!

Thanks!
