We are planning a NW to SE trip from Seattle to NOLA - just to see the country. We got a great one-way air fare out and a good car rental back. Now it's down to choosing the route.

The northern route through Montana, Dakotas, and down the Mississippi VS a western route down through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico and Texas.

If we can't agree, we can spend time in the Pacific northwest and fly back...

Anyone care to weigh in?

Thanks!
