At the end of the month, I'll be leaving California for Columbus, Ohio, my home for the next year.
From California, we'll motor-on to Nevada and Utah, turn northward to Idaho and Wyoming, then east again across South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, down to Illinois, across Indiana and finally Ohio. We're planning to cover 10 states and ~2,900 miles at a relatively leisurely pace over 8 days, allowing time to check out Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Mount Rushmore and Chicago and whatever's in between.
As the four of us are all road trip newbies, do you have any tips, recommendations, suggestions you'd like to share? Anything from how to stay awake, how to not die of boredom, what to do in the car, places to see, places to eat, etc. etc. are welcomed!
The travelers (or at least I will) will try to keep everyone up to date through this blog with stories and pictures. Don’t be surprised if updates are not posted daily during the trip -- internet access may not be as available clean air, wide open spaces and magnificent (?) scenery.

Billy - keep this bookmark close to you during your drive

seriously, if you want to find unique, out of the way diners, this is the site.
Sorry, Billy - I used my other account. It's Rob. I'll sign any other comments with my easier-to-ID gmail address.
@Rob: I bought the book, but sadly we were only able to try one place in Reno, NV. Hires Big H in Salt Lake City was closed on Sunday then we sorta just gave up trying to time our trip with meals. Not too many recommendations in Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, anyhow. The book will come in handy for future trips, though!
