We will start in Virginia, then to to Dallas, then Santa Fe, then the west coast, then the badlands of North Dakota, swing up to Canada, finally back to Virginia. Should take 4-5 weeks and be over 4,000 miles, yikes.

The car has 70K on it, I will have new tires, the wheels alligned, and a fresh oil change before the trip. Any other recommendations for the car or advice for us on a road trip of this length?

Wow Ed, that's quite a trip!

All good advise here. If you have the sport seats plan to stop and stretch your legs every 3 hrs or so. I love those seats for canyon carving but they can be a little confining on long drives. Think backpacker and travel light. Take half as much gear and twice as much money as you think you will need. Take lots of pictures!
