I have it in mind to take a cross-country drive this summer--
taking about two months or so to do it. I plan to camp most
nights, if possible, motels other nights (especially when
in/near a city).
I was wondering if anyone could suggest places to stop
(towns, routes, or specific eateries) to keep in mind--i.e.,
particularly special places for food.
My itinerary is up in the air to some extent, but I have a
vague plan to, starting in New York, go west through PA, to
Ohio, up through Michigan and across the Mackinaw Bridge,
through Wisconsin, Minnesota,
S. Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, that bit of Idaho, to
Washington, then south through Oregon and into
California. Stopping in San Francisco for a few days,
then east through Nevada, Utah, Colorado (Colorado
Springs and environs is a couple-days stop for me). I'm
even less certain of where to go then... I suppose New
Orleans would be interesting, then east/north from there.
Any suggestions? I'm still figuring out what to see, so my
path is subject to much change.
I'm not interested in fancy places, and my focus isn't on a
place that simply makes a very good hamburger (unless
there's something to set it apart). I'd like places that,
for example (1) have food you can't get elsewhere (either at
all, or with nearly the same quality), and (2) serve well as
a story to tell people--"I went to this interesting place
outside of this town ...."
I'll probably do a lot of cooking on my camp stove, so even
places that sell things to later cook in a pot or cast-iron
pan over a Coleman Dual-Fuel stove would be welcome (I'm
bringing minimal food preparation gear, so I plan to keep
such cooking simple). I haven't worked out the issue of
refrigeration, yet.
Any suggestions?
