U.S. 50 If you wish to see rual america, And a few bigger cities. From Annapolis, To Oakland Cal. One of the more scenic routs left. U.S. 6 Across the land if you like a more northern drive. And more timber and less desert Or 6 out and 50 back. Wonder full site seeing trip. If you have some months to travel. I have been across all of it. But never in one trip. Be live Reno to St.Louis was the longest trip at one time.
