Default ALL MAJOR LANDMARKS.... Anyone done it?

Okay, I recently saw this posted of Facebook within the Touring Harley's page and I was very curious if anyone has actually done this? I know there would be other places along the way that I would like to see but this is definitely a great place to start. Has anyone done it or done something similar??

It'd be nice to have a map that was interactive in some way, or that somehow identified the roads and landmarks to be visited. Sounds like a great time.

I've been in 46 of the 50 states and seen a whole bunch ... did both coasts ... looped each of the Great Lakes ... I've missed Colorado and Utah ( don't remember how I did that ) and maybe one day I'll get to Alaska ... Hawaii ... Nope

I've looped the Great Lakes, but then again being from Wisconsin it isn't terribly hards. I am jealous you have seen 46 of the 50, but I have never really even cared to see the East Coast... I'll probably force myself to go anyways!

I have always thought the Smokies would be a really nice trip. I just moved out to western ranch country and love the solitude and the distance from everyone/everything. I saw Montana and was hooked immediately.

How about starting a Route Page. Start a thread and people could ad to it. You could start out in your state and make a route or routes that people could take to see the sites in your area. You would most likely want to start next to a state border where someone adding would end up so the routes could link together.
