Saw Ed's mention of Athol, ID, as well as some of Playher's towns he drove thru.
I was in Athol last spring on my road trip collecting parts, but the F250 I was driving wasn't near as cool a rig as Playher's. We went thru Wyoming, then up into SD to Mt. Rushmore to show that to the wife (I had been there as a kid) but the weather was crap. Saw the outline of the 4 presidents thru the clouds for about 5 sec. Then we dropped down thru Chadron and Alliance, NE stopping to see Carhenge (that one was for me.
). From there we headed down Highway 2 aka Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway, over-nighting in Thedford, and passed thru Dunning the next morning. Then to Grand Island and East to Hampton where my dad was born, and over to Gresham, my mom's birthplace. Down thru the center of Nebraska, there isn't much other than sandhills, and the towns aren't far from drying up and blowing away. Cool route though, definitely more laid back than any Interstate.
Would love to see Playher's full story of his road trip.
