Well the end of the school year is upon us again and for the second year in a row i have decided to drive from Oregon back home to CT instead of staying out west to work...This time i have some things planned already and will travel down Cali and into Pheonix. But after checking out the grand canyon i have no idea what to do? The south just seems really flat, boring and hot...is there anything to do along the way? Im a mountain guy and am thinking about traveling back up north into colorado but have already done the I70 trip? Hows I-40? any nice national parks along the way or am i just going to be trying to chase some tornados along the way? I have family in Birmingham so i was thinking about heading there? Anything in new mexico? Just thought some of you experianced road trippers can help me out...Thanks!
