If you decide to take a somewhat more leisurely (but still workman-like) pace and take 6 days, then overnights would be Kingston TN, Fort Smith AR, Oklahoma City, Santa Rosa NM and Gallup NM. Each of the towns I've listed has at least one of the mid-range national motel chains such as La Quinta, Holiday Inn., Comfort Inn, Best Western, Embassy Suites, Wyndham, etc, etc, etc.

One minor correction to GLC's suggestion: Since you'll be headed west, you'll want to stay on the west side of any larger town/city you end up staying in.

So since we are headed Eastbound, will these same cities apply?

thank you!
