First OS Trip - Roadtrip Wet Coast US

[Falcon_Crazy]

G'Day Folks

After well over 500,000km travelling around Australia, Ive bit the bullet, cashed in a swag of FF points for a biz class return trip on Virgin to LA next March.

Ive hired a car for 39 days (think im getting a Focus - the mustang was too much and couldn't find an F Series) and plan is to head along coast, stoping at National Parks. Not gunna pend time in LA, but will in San Fran, looking forward to Big Sur and stack of National Parks.

Gotta kinda stick to West of Denver although may fly over for a few days in Nashville.

Im looking for any travel tips or places to worth seeing. I tend to stick away from the bigger places where I can - i might pend one night in Las Vegas just to see it, but it aint my scene really.

Travelling on my own at this stage although who knows what may happen. I often find travel partners whilst on the road.

Beer, sports and natrure are my thing, but open to anything on this trip - thinking an Amtrak trip Seattle to Chicago for something different.

Anyway - thoughts?
