This is clearly not the optimal road trip, since it passes through Nebraska.

Also Indiana, for its eateries may now legally refuse to serve customers that use machine learning for religous reasons.

Very curious about the decision metric for "major landmark" here. The San Benito County mark, for example, leads you to a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, and the major point for Delaware is just Delaware. Neither of those seem to fit a reasonable metric for a major landmark.

Seconded; I mean: I can understand why somebody who was into nuclear tourism might want to swing past the Hanford Site in Washington, but I'd bet that the majority of Americans might rather steer clear.
