I have always wanted to take a roadtrip across country to the eastern states. I'd like to stay close to the northern states... basically no desert. I'd like to do most of my site seeing in the east but stops on the way are acceptable. Anyone have any ideas, tips, things to do, what to bring, when to go, where to go, how long to go? ANYTHING?! I am very open. I want to have the best experience possible. I'll start out in Sacramento, work my way up to Seattle, hit Toronto, then after that come back to the states and start my journey. What shall I do next?
