Acoma reservation New Mexico USA

ROAD TRIP OF A LIFETIME

I'm trying to finalize plans for trip west to Monterey CA. I keep getting sidetracked with other interesting places to see or scenic drives.

Anyone seen the Chalk Pyramid in Kansa? Acoma Pueblo, Santa Cruz area natural bridge and redwood state park?

I see there's a large Brass Armadillo antique Mall in Kansas City that will be a stop!
How are prices in Gallup New Mexico. Antiques in Las Vegas?

most interesting drive from Barstow to Monterey area?

How about a BBQ place in Memphis TN?

Winter can be gone any day now I just want to hit the road and ear junk food switching radio stations!

Road Trip Plans

My California road trip is scheduled for the last 2 weeks of April. Driving from chicago area to denver, down to santa Fe across to Az and Grand Canyon then up to Vegas and finally across to
Monterey CA. Any pros and cons about driving I-80, I-70 or the northern route?
What are some great free or low cost sites to visits? Any great diners or BBQ?
Most important ANTIQUE Malls or multi-dealer shops that are a must stop for great variety?
May try to drive a few remaining parts of Route 66
Any advice would be appreciated so I can plan for a variety or routes, stops or side diversions.
We're trying this on nearly a shoestring realizing gas will be a fortune but it has been a lifelong dream to drive across country. I've been south and east and now head West. Who knows maybe Alaska can be another long trip for retirement!
