What the heck? They missed the Gateway Arch in St. Louis! Seriously?

It would be nice to see a listing of the actual landmarks. Wonder how long the trip would take???

I have to agree... What landmarks?
Is there a list, or route to follow? How long were they at the various places? Not a very helpful map.

Trip West (in my signature) will at least give a step-by-step idea of a 13000 mile trip in 63 days and that log doesn't come close to touching all areas of their map.

What all was left out? How about FL landmarks and shores? AZ and UT landmarks? Smokys and Rockys? Did they cross the mountains of CA, OR, or WA? Did they see wheat fields of WA? How about all the coasts of Great Lakes? All of the special lands set aside as National Parks? The Ozarks? All I see is a map all marked up with little guidance.

I goggled this and find that it is a take off from Brian DeFrees photography trip(s). Take a look at his work. It may be viewed on his DeFrees Productions web site.

It would appear without full information, I may have spoken too soon. Investigating DeFrees Productions a bit, I find he did hit several top places. I believe the title and map is misleading.

Guess there is nothing of general interest in the Midwest or Midsouth!

Ditto this. I didn't like the map because it skipped NYC and New England, but I still wanted to know what the pins marked.

And I was so excited to find that Snopes page, because I remember my dad showing me a cross country video similar to that one years and years ago. However, the website says, "In August of 2011, Brian DeFrees set out on a 2 month journey with a mission to become the first to capture the American cross-country roadtrip in a drivelapse video." I'm dead cert Dad showed me that video waaaaay longer ago than that.

Still the same kinda cool, though.

Ha, I remember when I was looking at it, I felt like I was hearing a joke where everyone in the room got it... except for me. Now, I feel better.
