[net.travel] Driving Across the USA

I am planning to drive across the United States this summer,
San Diego to New York.   I am going to travel a northern route.
I'd like to ask for any hints or suggestions that any of you
may have for an adventure like this.  What are the MUST SEES?
What could just as well be skipped?  What are some of the
preferred routes to take.  Some of the places I definitely want
to see are Glacier, The Grand Tetons, Wind Cave, Minnesota,
Michigan U.P. and The Grand Hotel on Machinaw Island, MI.  My
route will obviously not be a direct one.  I don't have any time
constraint (only financial).  I've got my tent and my backpack
and would like to camp along the way and cook my own meals ala
my camp stove.  I'm tentatively planning on taking 6 weeks to
complete the journey.  Please mail me any information and/or
clues.  If I get a flood of responses I will summarize and post
the info back to the net.

P.S.  This is a one way trip.  I'm moving to NY.  If any of you
      New Yorkers out there would like to help acclimatize a
      Californian to the joys of East Coast living I'd certainly
      love to hear from you.
