Well, we drove to California in 1974 from Mass. and had a blast. We were young and didn't have a lot of $$. The best thing I ever saw was the Grand Canyon. I still can remember how spectacular it was and would love to go back.I also remember a little bar in Flagstaff (I think) that was famous for a womens face painted on the bar room floor. That might have even been the name. BUT, remember that was many years ago.We also stopped at the Hoover Dam.Have a fun trip.
