I'd continue west from Roswell/White Sands through AZ and into SoCal directly.. be less time/mileage than running up to CDC/GC and back down. See that area when you head east and through Zion.

i figured much of it would be like that. or you get stuck behind some family in a station wagon doing 20 mph.
anyway the route has somewhat changed since this thread was first made.
way west:
81 south from pa to knoxville
40 west to amarillo texas
route 60 to 70 to get to roswell
south on 285 to carlsbad caverns
82 to white sands
then 25 north to I-40 again
cutting off to canyon de chelly
back on I-40
cutting off to the grand canyon
back on I-40 into socal where we will relax for a few days, pismo beach, some of the pch.
heading back east:
hop on 15 through vegas to zion until we hit 70.
next stop moab until we hit colorado
then some stuff happens in colorado, we still need to figure out our route through there and make sure the trails are open. but ultimately we will end up back on 70 and take that home.
we are meeting a friend in la and trucking his ass back to new england (he is currently in new zealand) so we plan on spending a couple days there just relaxing. and plans are heading north a bit to pismo and possibly hollister. seeing as we have a set time to be back home, we might have to cut some things out of the trip due to time complications granted something happens along the way. so there will probably be a lot of "playing it by ear" so to speak
Driving to California from the east coast and you're thinking Pismo and Hollister?

If anyone can reccomend some good trails in socal where a xj on 33's and one locker isnt going to explode enlighten us.
Looking forward to utah and once we hit colorado we will see what passes are open by then.
im driving back to NY on tuesday :-(
sounds like fun! make sure your cooling system is above par!
Swamp Lake trail or Bald Mountain, east of Fresno. Swamp might not be open yet. Bald is a good time and is real Sierra wheeling. Have you tried posting up in the local chapters?
as of now, it looks like we'll run up california through death valley
