Simple,look as you drive by. Or set up your 34 reset while you're in the area.
I'm not a driver yet so I may be way off.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh you'll get to see all kinds of stuff out there. I used to spend weekends running around wherever I was at - could be big cities like Vegas or New Orleans, sometimes it was tiny towns watching local dirt track races or high school football games on a Friday night. Wherever I was there was always something you could do. Except Oklahoma. I never could find anything to do in Oklahoma except keep driving until I hit the state line.
Andwhere that is outside you windshield while your driving. I think the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona can be just as bueatiful as the mountains of the northwest. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder in this case.
On my first days of OTR training, I had the pleasure of traveling I-10 through Arizona and New Mexico.
Every turn I went around and every hill I popped over took my breath away. My trainer actually started laughing. He is from the Dallas area so he had seen all this a few times before.
Beauty is there. All one has to do is open their eyes and their hearts and see it.
And Brett's idea of hitting the local spots, except for Oklahoma, which has none, is a great idea. I hope to start doing that in the near future.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Just about the only thing Oklahoma is good for is charging you insane prices for tolls. I hate OK.

Lets not forget the flat land of Nabraska feels the mile markers never change..LOL
Montana is by far the most beautiful place in the lower 48, especially in the winter time. Its no fun driving it, but its gorgeous land. Can't wait to hear what you'll say about Montana.
Sometimes they show up at places you never expect.
Had a deadhead that took me down 206 in New Jersey. An interesting intersection in the middle of Princeton. Old university on one side of the road and park on the other. And to make it exciting, 3 inches of new snow with more coming down and the week before Christmas!
To drive with an empty trailer. After delivering your load you will deadhead to a shipper to pick up your next load.

That's totally true. I noticed that all the time early in my career. I'd be driving through Utah or Kentucky or someplace you wouldn't associate with breathtaking scenery but all of a sudden you come over a hill or around a bend and BAM! there's the most amazing view imaginable.
