Just as there is nothing on I 40 from Barstow to the AZ state line, from the bits I have seen from I 40, there is not much going on except for railroad crossings. I think the 'funner' bits occur once you cross into Arizona; there are a few little tourist towns. I have been on several parts of it starting when I grew up in the Los Angeles area, but those were often by circumstance (i.e. Santa Monica Blvd., Foothills Blvd., etc.). I took parts of it when I lived and worked on the Navajo Reservation in northern AZ (i.e. through Flagstaff and Winona, etc.). I think I had been on some of it growing up in Chicago, but I have not researched if this is true (I mean, really where the other end started--Chicago?).
