I was just a few miles from you last night. Flew in to DCR from Pittsburg , on way to Maine. Only had 20 minutes , but the sound of the jets reminded me of your "tuned" exhaust .

Planning trips can be time intensive!
I would suggest dropping into Texas or California for a specific event occurring as your day one plan. Then pick the route to see things on your planned route or plan the route based on interesting things. I would pick my end destination to attend a final day event.
if you are traveling from Texas to California, you have alot of tourist stuff like Route 66 or Carlsbad caverns, some museums and sites and landmarks, missile silos, Pima boneyard museum, the Alamo, and on and on and on. The trick is to maximize your tourist stops, but stay on schedule and hit your overnight stops accurately.
If you are planning an entire cross country thing, the sky is the limit on what you plan!

If you plan to be in Northern California in mid August you should try to attend the Monterey Historic races and/or the Pebble Beach concours.

So, at the moment the plan is this, (it is not final plan).
Texas mile is where i go and also some ultimate street car association events.
Then Drag week if they take me and my car there.
If possible and all goes like i hope, Ohio mile.
And now maybe some 1/2 mile would be interesting.
Cruising where ever it is possible.
And land marks on the way also.
There will be about 5-7 k miles at start.
