Personally, I've always enjoyed long drives through the American West. I've always wanted to try it by train, too.

Long drives are AWESOME! For whatever reason, I find them relaxing, and of the almost 15 States I've done so far, I love the diversity. My favorite drive has to be down the I-75; great scenery in some places and going through Kentucky & Tennessee and listening to the 'sing song' accents - priceless!
aka ChurchDude. I want that moniker back! Until then....

Haven't had the pleasure of that one. Round trips I have done (some of them several times) are Chicago - L.A., Chicago - Frisco, Chicago-Seattle, Chicago-Charlotte, L.A. - Seattle. A very good time almost every time (I had to do Seattle -> Chicago once when I was really sick and that wasn't much fun).

There are two main routes between Chicago and Seattle; I took I-90, the more southern route. Very pretty once you get to the Badlands in South Dakota and afterward. The drive through Idaho was gorgeous.
The drive to San Francisco is magnificent through the Rockies. Incomparable.
There are several routes to get from Chicago to L.A., and what you see and do depends on which one you choose. If it's wintry, you want to drop straight south to Memphis first, and then start heading west. This route isn't terribly scenic, but Memphis itself is a fairly interesting city. You go through a lot of flat farm fields regardless of which route you take; corn, then wheat, and plenty of soybeans too. Then you get to the desert Southwest, which is very, very pretty. New Mexico doesn't take care of its roads very well, but Arizona's highways are kept in immaculate condition.

Ah, driving through the Rockies on both sides of the border - another couple of my 'dream things' to do (though I do hear it's best to do the Canadian Rockies by train). But you have inadvertently made it "difficult" for me, because I quite like the idea of both road-trips - Frisco and Seattle [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]
