On the California Coast, or driving through the Applachians, there may be scenery worth watching. Driving between Kansas City and Denver, there is very little, and more importantly you can see it for hours approaching and hours driving past. Boring after the first 30 minutes. I will also say there there are huge stretches of boring terrain along the interstate between Amarillo, TX and Barstow CA. I've also heard that the 5 days of traveling across Ontario are a bit of a bore. Pittsburgh to Chicago is another exercise in the need for speed. I'd rather spend more time at my DESTINATION (and it's near vicinity) than in the mega hours of travel it may take to get there. Perhaps you folk have destinations that are closer?
