So my girlfriend and I are headed to CU Boulder next year and we decided instead of flying out, we're going to drive out to orientation from Boston. We already have been living out of our car down the cape for a couple of weeks (got a job down there, and why not?). so we have a mattress in the back of it (suburban) and everything. We plan on leaving on the 5th or so and stopping at lollapalooza on the way, but we don't have to be in CO until the 17th. So NS, what's some cool shit we should do on the way? We have a lot of time so distance isn't that much of an issue.

Come to Canada and do some sight seeing in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It will be a life altering experience.

Drive as fast as you can through the entire midwest and get to BOCO. Summers here are epic: hiking, climbing, 14ers, drinkin 40s, skydiving, rafting, rooftop parties, red rocks...

I was about to make a joke about the state of Ohio being really cool... until I realized that you should probably stop in Sandusky, Ohio for Cedar Point. It'll take an entire day but its more than worth it.

if you come to Kansas City... stop by We can go to power and light which is the coolest bar area in the midwest in my eyes. Live bands all the time 10 bars in walking distance and most night free cover.

I know its not sight seeing.. but its a great way to break up the drive before you embark on a wasteland that some call western Kansas.
good luck to you.
