It was really only the parts in California (and the first ~50mi of Arizona) and Texas that weren't too exciting. As should be expected on any drive of that length, most of it was through pretty rural and remote areas, but there was always something to look at. Texas was just flat and bland, but with only 180mi on I-40 (and having half of that in the dark for our trip), it really wasn't too bad. We were quite surprised by how rolling Oklahoma was, and how many trees there were. While I still think "Oklahoma's OK" is a great motto, since it keeps your expectations in check, it did seem like a surprisingly nice place.
