Driving Across the USA in a Jeep - Sights to See, Places to Go?
Hi all,
My wife and I are planning a month-long excursion from Savannah, GA to Yellowstone Nat Park this summer.
We're packing up our 07 JK unlimited X 4x4 with camping gear, two mountain bikes, and a beer cooler.
We have no schedule. All we have is a destination and a Garmin GPS to get us there.
Any recommendations for campgrounds, sights-to-see, or stories about your own cross-country trips are welcome and appreciated!

One thing that came to mind is a book called, "Weird USA". The book chronicles weird places across the country. I have the "Weird Georgia" book and it's very interesting.

If at all possible, you gotta make a huge detour and see Ouray. Or at least talk to the local on the board here (Gravel Gertie??) who lives in Jackson Hole to find some cool local scenic trails.

There now you've seen all you need to see of the Mitchel SD Corn Palace.
The frecoes are made of corn.
Also don't waste your time in Deadwood SD. Nothing but a big tourist trap.
But you must MUST! drive the badlands.
