My wife and I just got home from a 6,100 mile driving vacation trip from SE
Michigan to Washington State.  We took a different route west than we took
east.  We saw only 3 Corvairs the whole time.  One in a junkyard, one in a
person's back yard jacked up, and one out by the road "for sale".
We traveled old route 66 in Illinois and stopped at a few historic gas
stations and museums.  
One sad moment on my trip was when we stopped in Post Falls, Idaho to have
lunch and buy a new T-shirt from "The Hot Rod Cafe".  Unfortunately the
place is closed and the building is for sale.  I guess all the car
enthusiasts in Idaho didn't buy enough cheese burgers.  The '32 Ford coupe
is still on the roof and can be seen for miles.
The mountain states are still beautiful and the plains states are the most
boring to drive thru as the drought has killed anything green.  We saw
evidence of many forest fires including Yellowstone Park.  I was glad to see
the National Park Service is still using those yellow 1930's tour busses!
