Long Distance Car Trip
Anyone know of good websites for long distance car trip planning?
I am thinking of perhaps driving cross country, or at least through a few states and would like a website that can help me to navigate which roads to take, as well as possible suggestions for lodging and roadside food.

Google Maps will do all of that. You can type in "Chicago, IL restaurants" and get suggestions for the area. Once you know your destinations and general route, you'll be able to ask for restaurants, etc. here or from other sources.

My favorite is freetrip.com which will give mileage to go and miles driven, the amount of time required to drive and time driven, and hotels of your choice from start to finish in your price range.
Once you have your main route planned, you can work out your side trips the same way.

Suze, thank you for the recommendation. I looked at the trip tik online and I can just print out the various places I want to go. Now all I need to do is get a friend to go with me, and voila!
