I wish science would figure out how to make the search function work better.

Any road trip that includes Oklahoma is not legit.

Maybe I can use the Autobahn to take this trip.

Good list but missing Gettysburg & Valley Forge. Also, why the White House vs other DC monuments such as Arlington Cemetery , Ford's Theater, Smithsonian, etc. ?

It includes the San Andreas Fault but not Yosemite or Lake Tahoe or Redwoods NP or any driving on the Pacific coast?!?!
Lame.
Also left out Big Bend and the only part of the Colorado Rockies is Pike's Peak, but no Rocky Mountain National Park or really anything in the heart of the Rockies.
It's far from the perfect road trip (and Prudhoe Bay is required for that one).

If you're on vacation, what kind of idiot would take the 5 up the West Coast? Take the Pacific Coast Highway.
