It's certainly ambitious but that's part of its attraction. Where to start? First off, I love the idea. On this trip I will certainly forget where some movies or still shots were taken, unless I can link them to a GPS location.

Denny (or anyone), I think you or Jennifer mentioned software that will link my photo files to the Delorme log. On another set of issues…technology…I have a laptop and a Delorme GPS that links to the laptop. The Delorme two lane route looks like the picture below. I have driven almost every road in the western states, so don’t worry too much about routes west of the Rockies…I can figure that out, depending on where I cross the divide. Sheila suggested Diagonal Alley…related to Harry Potter….but I haven’t read or seen a Harry Potter production.Īnd I need advice on which roads to take…the little gems that I must drive. I also need a name for this adventure…”Fat Old Man in Rented Convertible Goes Diagonal”…doesn’t do it for me. I reserve the right to change my mind…who knows what other deals are out there! I have my American Road hat and blue American Road shirt…gotta show the flag…so to speak! The car is booked (April 15 to April 29), but the flight is not ….yet. American Road has described many of them…so any advice?. But only human beings can tell me about the special roads that are the gems. I have looked at the Delorme routing, and it looks feasible. I would like to do the complete DTC on two lane roads. Using that marvelous capacity, Delorme calculated a 3545 mile trip, which has the added advantage of bypassing most large cities. You can AVOID a certain kind of road…bye bye freeway. But Delorme has a wonderful feature called AVOID. Of course that is freeway, probably all the way. It is 3400 miles on the route calculated for me on my Delorme Street Atlas USA. I must make it to Olympia in 14 days, according to the Avis rules. In fact, I’m thinking I might go a day or two early and do a trip to Key West so I can claim the undisputed two lane DTC prize! For me the convertible is a major factor.Ī look at any USA map shows that I would be doing a complete diagonal trans-continental (DTC). So I have reserved a car with Avis in Miami….the only place I found with convertibles still available….lots of other cars are still available in other major Florida cities.
If I wanted an economy car it would be $5 a day!!!! Of course you have to get to Florida, but I found fares as low as $100 one way from Seattle!

I can rent a convertible in Florida and drive it one way anywhere in the US for $17 a day plus a bunch of taxes and surcharges…for a total rental cost of $300 for two weeks. No need to recount the reason (hint: it barks), but in the process of planning I have been discovering road trip goodies on the web. My trip to the four corners and the Motor Boys Monumental Highway refuses to jell.
