it's about 1826 miles from SF to Dallas one-way. we did 3 - 600 mile stages per day with time to hit 4 national parks on US20 route and 2 motel nights. we haven't returned yet - maybe next Monday - taking the US40 route and hitting more national parks

Great pics and sounds like a great trip.
Besides the national parks along I-40, I'd recommend the Sandia Peak tram near Albuquerque, NM, Meteor Crator in eastern AZ, and the Hoover Dam on the AZ,NV border. Although, it took me 15 years to visit all 3 places.

Did you get a chance to have a muffuletta sandwich at Central Grocery in New Orleans? Better than Freddie's Sandwiches in SF.
BTW, nice pics.
