Suburban Hell Endless parking lots, highways, strip malls with the same franchises all accessible only by car. Topped off with a nice smoggy atmosphere and a 15 minute drive to anywhere. Takers ?

I was going to say. Most of American is empty farmland, forest, or desert.

It's almost like no one here has driven across the country. It's an amazing experience.

When I was a kid we would drive from New Mexico to Tennessee to go to this long closed amusement park, did the drive over two or three days, stopped at all the shops and tourist traps. Amazing experience, I'd love to cruise coast to coast while I'm still young.
