Based upon your route I recommend the following while you're in California:
The House of Prime Rib on Van Ness in San Francisco (contingent on: 1. You're a Meataterian and 2. You're a MAN 3. You make a reservation now)
Mojave Road from Barstow to Arizona, lots of stops along the way and a very scenic desert road.
Oh and if you are in Barstow stop by the Holiday Inn Express, Room 112, three knocks, the first soft, the last two hard. Then say: "I'm here to see my Uncle Rick about a '72 El Camino."

If you were going a little more north (northern WY and South West corner of SD) I would say Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Badlands National park.

X2 house of prime rib. Excellent.
Maybe a SnG when you're here. Us NorCal folks have been known to imbibe from time to time.

It ends in Laughlin, Nevada. Three days is probably best but you can do the first half or second half in one day and then scoot up to vegas.

Yup. I did a trip report on it when we did it two years ago. If you go back to can find it. In that thread the stuff after the sand dunes is west of kelso Cima road (that road that goes north to vegas) and the stuff before is east of that.

You could do it alone. It's nothing hard but it is the desert and it will be HOT in July.

Thanks a TON to both of you! This is now on the list, maybe as it gets closer i will see if anyone wants to join but at least i know i can do it! I figured it will be hot but hopefully its that dry hot.
