    Critique my cross country plan...

    1-way trip leaving Seattle for Burlington around August 5th. 3 week allowance.

    I'm getting to Seattle via cross-Canadian rail via Vancouver.

    Bike getting to Seattle via truck.

    Trying to hit a lot of parks along the way and open to suggestions. Can anyone think of any roads, rallies or wax museums I should check out along the way that I might have missed?

    My vague plan

    If you plan on going through Ohio... why not go through the Columbus area and hit the Motorcycle Hall of Fame and Museum?

    Looks like a great trip! I really want to do a cross-country ride. Maybe next year...

    IMO - I wouldn't miss oregon and northern CA. Head south toward San Francisco. The area between crater lake and san fran is pretty amazing.

    Routes - 96/299/36/1 are all great roads in northern CA.

    There is not much to see from Buffalo to Milwuakee on rte 90. If you're going to ride that stretch, score some LSD in Seattle. You'll thank me.

    If you get a chance Glacier National Park is worth a look as well.

    I have been to almost all of those national parks. If you have time I would add Bryce Canyon to your list. It is amazing.

    If you have any in depth questions about them let me know.

    I was a tour guide and took people all across the country!
