My Mom would go to AAA and get these TripTik things that mapped out the trip.

my only vacation (other than rangers/cowboys games or six flags) growing up was a trip to the southwest to see a bunch of native american sites (Mesa Cliff Dwelling, 4 corners, native american museum, etc.)

my parents just pulled out and atlas and mapped the drive. we just rolled into Santa Fe and found random La Quinta. then we found a restaurant and ate. Then drove to Mesa, and found a La Quinta. and ate at McDonalds. wild world back then.
