5. Road trip across America

Just a short trip really.

For many years, I've wanted to travel across America, but every time I sit down for an hour or so and plan a route that I like, I realise that it is different to the last one I thought up.

There is a common theme however, which involves at least some form of stint driving on the old route 66, now replaced by the Interstate system (annoyingly) with a lot of it actually being off limits nowadays. However, there are still the Historic Route 66 sections which you can drive on, and this is the route I would take.

Obviously the Interstate system would need to be used, but then there isn't much I could do about that.

Other than driving from East to West and then spending a day or two enjoying the sunshine on the West coast, my only other stipulation for this trip would be the car. Which, of course, has to be pure American Muscle:

Not necessarily in this colour.
