Southern: Your choice of routes to Iowa City and then to Las Vegas,
New Mexico. Then to Winslow, see the meteor carter; follow the Grand
Canyon(buy a Grand Canyon chart) down to Kingman, Arizona, and
Needles, California; west to Bakersfield, then up to Hayward. (That
last leg is pretty boring.)


One comment on the Southern route. If weather is a factor you can
get to lower terrain (i.e. better cloud clearance) by going South in
New Mexico and picking up I-10 west. You can easily follow it at 6,500
ft. as far as Tuscon, then it's all down hill from there on into CA.
