No sightseeing advice, but the best thing for long road trips are
books-on-tape. I really like all the Rex Stout mysteries, they're read by
a guy with a great voice. All the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin novels
are excellent also. I can lend you most of the series if you'd like. For
that matter I have dozens of Rex Stout too. The Bill Babcock lending
library. Sounds good.
Which reminds me--November 14th, Master and Commander comes to the big
screen. I can't wait. Too bad old Patrick isn't still here with us to see
that. Russell Crowe as Jack Aubrey. Cool.

Subject: trip advice needed
Gentleman Joe Alexander and Uncle Jack Drews are making a geezer trip
halfway across the country -- Iowa to California and back. To relieve the
boredom of having to talk with only each other for that distance, we're
looking for interesting things to see and do along the way -- hopefully
gearhead related, but not necessarily.
We're going I-80 to Fort Collins or so, 40 across Colorado, down through
Reno, and on to San Fransisco.
Any suggestions for neat things to see and do along that route?
