Hi all i'm coming to the US!! Well me and my best mate are planning a road trip which we have been hoping to do for some years now. We are really looking for sights and people to meet along the way. Our schedule is quite tight with many one night stops but we are hoping to cover as much ground as possible in the 6 weeks we have. Got to see a few 914 on my travels too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)
A link of our planned route can be found by throwing this in google maps! (Cant get it to link...) **UPDATE** from:los angeles to:san francisco to:South Lake Tahoe, CA to:Las Vegas to:Flagstaff to:beaver, UT to:Park City to:rock springs to:rapid city to:denver to:poncha springs to:pagosa springs to:Albuquerque to:amarillo to:oklahoma city to:dallas to:houston to:new orleans to:panama city to:Atlanta to:Charlotte, Mecklenburg, North Carolina to:Washington to:Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to:New york Any comments on the route and places we should be stopping or staying at (very limited budget!!) would be great. Cheers, Fabian & Nick ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) ) |

Going through Oklahoma, you'll want to drive up Mt. Scott during daylight.
Mt. Scott, OK If you want to see small town Oklahoma, you can drive over to Mangum, OK from Mt. Scott or go to Mangum first then Mt. Scott. Mangum, OK There is not much in the way of gas stations in these parts, so you want to keep an eye on your gauge. I STRONGLY recommend you stop and eat at the Ranchman's Cafe in Ponder, TX. All sorts of famous people have eaten their several times. The food is utterly delicious.
