wow this is an amazing idea! I think unless it was a goal to do it in a year it wold be less stressful to do it before you take a dirt nap.
Spend as much time as feels right in each location, then mosie on down the road a bit.

Some are kind of on a quest to develop some kind of view of the USA in as short a time as possible. Sure you will not get the general full picture of each state. Maybe a year in each state.  But who has 50 years.   A week is an arbitrary limit, but it is an interesting goal that could change the traveler. Thinking the overall goal is to change the traveler. This kind of trip might do that.

  Yes, this can be a life changing quest!  We did something similar many years ago. We didn't have a specific goal but we had only saved enough money to travel for a year. We visited most of the national parks and a lot of big cities and little towns along the way. We drove way too much and missed many things but  after that year our views on how we wanted to live were changed forever.
 
Here's a fellow who drove his hot-rod through 49 states, in 9 days!!!

Nahhhh....me neither. All interstates = BORING!!!!!! :(

Anything for a good roadtrip!!! :cool:
 
In some large States that have diverse topography, (like California), you could stay a month and not see it all. I would personally stay away from State Capitols unless they were small, (like Carson City Nv).
 
if you want to get though Carson City during rush hour stay off 395. what a mess. this is not your Carson City of the 60's-70's. do yourself a favor take the bypass. highdesertranger
