How to drive >2000 miles without losing your mind

I finally took the leap and accepted a travel OT job in North Carolina.  Driving from Utah to North Carolina has the potential to drive a person insane, so here are some tips I learned to make it enjoyable:


1)  Find an adventurous and spontaneous friend to come with you. 


2)  Avoid Wyoming.



3)  Stop and take a hike.


4)  Take Route 66, the ghost highway.




5)  See as many temples as you can.



6) Stop in Checotah.



7) Visit Elvises' house.



8)  Stop at the Opry.



9)  Take a narrow, gravel road for a while.


10) Notice the new kinds of plantlife.


11)  Find new ways to entertain yourself.


12)   . . . .and end at a beautiful spot.

Thanks for driving across the country with me, Seth!

How fun! I oddly like random roadtrips, especially if you get to see cool stuff like Elvis' home! Very cool and congrats on a new job!

cool. You moved? How fun. Be sure to let us know how the new job is. How far away from Chelsea do you live?
