I-40 across the country

Hey all, we're driving from Durham, NC all the way to the Grand Canyon on I-40. Planning on hitting Memphis, Little Rock, OK City, Albaquerque, etc.

Family of 5 with kids 10, 8, and 5. Tell me about anything else worth seeing in that 3000 miles. Campgrounds, museums, restaurants, whatever! What are you "must sees"?

    Cadillac Ranch is visible off the 40 and the cars are covered in grafitti, we've never stopped.

    Cadillac Ranch in amarillo - haven't been personally but others have mentioned it. when I went through I wasn't aware it was there.

    we took the sandia tramway to the peak in Albuquerque in June. in winter they haul people up and ski off the back side

    "Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona". Meteor Crater, AZ. Williams, AZ for taste of Route 66. Graceland is a must do.
