    Default Seattle to Detroit up US Highway 12!

    {03-13-09 Edit: The original Fall trip has morphed into an early Summer trip and the scope has changed as well. Hence the change of venue on this forum.}


    Call me crazy (Yer crazy), but I have this wild notion that I want drive the length of I-90 from Boston all the way to Seattle. The tenitive plan would be: fly to Boston, rent a car, drive to Seattle.

    The questions I have are: Has anyone done this before. I imagine that the east coast is pretty cool, and I know the west coast well enough that the far end is covered - but how about all the points in the middle. Is it just one long, boring stretch? Is it worth doing, or would I be better off with another route?

    About how long should I plan for? Mapquest says that it's only 46 hours to physicaly get from A to B, but that's the blow through top speed, who cares about stopping way of doing it. I'm thinking 14 days - too much or not enough?

    Any other suggestions or crazy ideas?
