thanks for the reply.
What kind of things do we hope to see?

I don't know, thats kind of hard to answer. we are not looking to hang around big cities too much ( we have 2 whole weeks in NYC before the road trip.) We would like to ride in more scenic road, and see some of the country side. we hope to go on some hiking trails and national parks. and we are open to hear any suggestions of interesting things to see along the way.
