My route will be either this (#1) or this (#2). #1 will be cooler and quicker, but #2 is more scenic. Plus, I’ve been told I’ll be able to find gas every 100 miles along #1 (with a little advance planning), and I don’t know if that’s the case with #2. Green markers are overnight stops. C through H is pretty much set, as that’s where I have friends and family, but through UT, NV and CA, let me know if you have any suggestions for alternate routes.
