Tempe, AZ to Albuquerque, NM (410 mi)

Albuquerque, NM to Stroud, OK (600 mi)

Stroud, OK to Effingham, IL (550 mi)

Effingham, IL to Erie, PA (550 mi)

Erie, PA to Boston, Nashua, NH (590 mi)

That's my route.  I'm planning to stay at motels so I'm trying to stop outside of major cities.

There are cops.

The speed limit's 75 and you can get away with 80 in most places (ie between towns), but anything more than that and you're asking for trouble.

If you want, I can possibly get you a place to crash in Topeka. It's an hour west of KC and has almost none of the nightlife or glamor (still has some pretty damned good barbecue  drool), but it'd keep you from having to deal with the morning rush hour and get you closer to Denver.

legit question!

there are hardly any cops in north and south carolina on i95 and i pretty much did 95 the whole time till i made it to gerogia.

Buckethead, that would be great, I wanted to get a bit further than Kansas city so i was a tad closer to denver for the next morning. Nightlight and glamour? Whats that? (im stuck in school 80 hours a week!

FYI Kansas troopers have no sense of humor so don't push past 80

More than that.

You're forgetting that I 70 in Colorado east of Denver is just as bad as western Kansas, if not worse.

From Topeka, where it starts to flatten out, to Denver is 530+ miles.

But by that time, you'll have taken I 70 across Illinois and Indiana, which are equally as exciting.

There are cops, there are State Troopers, and then there's the group of lawmen that patrol the I-70 corridor through Kans-ass into Colorado.
These guys and gals use every possible trick in the book to get speeders.

Their favorite tactic is to drive in the left lane of the highway, doing about 60 mph, and actually tagging the opposite direction of traffic.
They have caused accidents when they have suddenly barreled into the median to go get their targets, and they take no responsibility for their actions.

If you had a Valentine 1, and a car, then yes, you could do 100 mph for vast stretches of I-70.
You just have to be wary of the 10 miles outside of the few major cities you would be passing through, and any sudden hills that are blind, as they like to park just past the rise, and nail you as you crest the hill with LIDAR.

Normally I recommend taking I-80 instead, just to avoid Kansas entirely.
But there's way more tolls on I-80 between NYC and Chicago, in comparison to the NYC to Indianapolis route you will be taking in order to hook up with I-70.
I usually recommend driving I-70 at night, just so you won't fall asleep due to scenery boredom, but you need to keep an eye out for evil storm clouds from Satan's Red Wing loving butthole, and lots of gas stations close at night.

Anyway, enjoy the ride, and make sure you wear earplugs.
For God's sake, don't ride a single leg of the trip without earplugs in.
And I don't mean headphone earplugs, either.
