There isn't a coffee shop or convenience store there where drivers can get more caffeine.

A tourist couple from Germany wants to drive cross-country through the United States to see our nation's wonderful scenery.  This is their first time in America.  They want to fly into an east coast city, then drive to a west coast city.

Recommend a scenic route for them to take.

Good thing I took this photo yesterday.



Fly to PVD and take a route literally labeled scenic. Then cross the bridge into Jamestown RI, or Newport RI if you're a stickler on what is and isn't a city, and you're on the west coast because there's ocean (Narragansett Bay) to the west.

The 1913 Lincoln Highway. Incredibly scenic and very easy to follow. There's even a map!

Fly into Newark Airport. Pick up the rental car, then drive north on NJ-21 through the city of Newark to I-280. Take I-280 eastbound to the Jersey Turnpike. Get on the Turnpike southbound and drive past the very scenic industry of Elizabeth and Carteret, preferably with the windows and sunroof open to experience the fragrances.

Then take Exit 11 onto the northbound Garden State Parkway. Follow that road north to I-84. Then take I-84 west to Scranton and exit onto northbound I-81. Follow that across the Thousand Islands Bridge to Route 401. Take 401 east to 416, then 416 north to 417. Then 417 west; it becomes Route 17 after 417 ends and takes you to North Bay, where you pick up Route 11 up through Cochrane and across to Nipigon. From there, continue west on the Trans-Canada Highway to Vancouver, then drop south to Sea-Tac Airport and fly home.

Fly into Tampa and drive to St. Petersburg on I-275, going to the west coast of Tampa Bay.

1. Rent a green '96 Plymouth Voyager 4-Door van
2. Don't pack any water
3. Drive a Great Circle path from JFK to Death Valley NP
4. Take note of Furnace Creek, your West Coast City
5. Camp in Anvil Canyon
6. Try not to be a Death Valley German
