Pennsylvania's actually *really* pretty along Route 80, and there's very little travel in NY and NJ.
Febs2 - it's not that bad. I've done the round trip from NY to CO about a half dozen times. It's kind of fun, and you really do get a great sense of the country. The roughest part can be the weather across the plains (thunderstorms, tornados), but you're traveling late enough in the year that you should avoid the worst of it.
