Much of the areas they showed almost looked abandoned or at least closed up. Just my opinion.
Yes, I've seen a couple of those sad shows also. Biggest problem might be where to get gas and where to stay along the way without going in an RV (sleep under the stars?). It's a good thing I like ghost towns also!
Also thought it might be interesting to follow the Lewis and Clark trail out west.
