The Petrified Forest. and Painted Dessert is near the Grand Canyon, wouldn't be a bad side trip in AZ. I made the trip from Macon, GA to Phoenix, AZ in a Civic Si and it wasn't too bad. Texas did seem to take a while to get across, but the thunderstorm probably slowed me down some. Up near the Grand Canyon is Rte. 66 so you can hit two icons at the same time. I made a similar trip in 1972 in my 240Z from San Francisco to Pittsburgh on the northern route, and returned the southern route. It was an interesting trip.

Ok wow. One I'm upset you're not dropping me off in LA. With all the great places you are heading once you get to LA, grab a Poor Boy sandwich!

That is a lot of driving in barren, boring landscape. Too bad you can't postpone to do the northern route.

Too bad you aren't returning a little further north, I could recommend beautiful country/parks in Utah and excellent mountain roads in Colorado.

Beale Street in Memphis would be a great lunch/dinner stop - cool music scene with tons of bars
Albuquerque you'll want to hit old town for lunch/dinner/quick tour and the Petroglyph National Mnmt for a short hike.
The Biosphere II in Tucson was entertaining as well.

Most of your trip you will be wishing we had German Autobahn rules (no speed limits where it makes sense)...

If you update to the forum along the way, we can all share in the adventure! Should be a fun trip. My old man used to spend a lot of time exploring the country in his later years. He was a big old west buff so his road trips were in the Southwest (Arizona/New Mexico/Texas) and up North to see the Battle of the Little Bighorn monument, etc. Tons of great experiences he had. Have a great trip!
