It's been an ungodly amount of time since I've posted on NS, yet it still feels like home. Oh ya! Here's what I need help with.

I'm road tripping 4,200KM+ to Mountain View, California and need your help. I want you to tell me which unique places I must visit. The only parameters being we need to arrive in 5 days of driving. Our current route has us stopping at these places. http://goo.gl/KO70H

Night 1: South of Chicago, Illinois
Night 2: Lincoln, Nebraska
Night 3: Rawlins, Wyoming
Night 4: Battle Mountain Nevada

Thanks in advance.
And go!

Yea that route kinda sucks. I think you should continue past mountain view and go surfing too.

And for the triple post.

That route is only 2 days and 8 hours. You will see everything you need to and then some. Defiantly stop in Vegas and Stay at Circus Circus. The hotel is a shithole but I just stayed there for $36 a night and had a crazy fun time on the cheap on my way to the grand canyon.

You're going to be like 45 mins south of Chicago. Definitely spend some time in the city since you're going to be that close.
