i just got a 3-month freelance job in denver and so have to drive there from boston next week! i have not idea what route to take. has anyone done this drive in a mini? are there routes that are more fun to drive than others?
any advice much appreciated.
thanks!
Take the fast route. Get to I-70 and go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
I-70 through Kansas is government testing ground for Boredom. That is one long stertch of straight road.

The shortest route from here by a bit (according to google) is 80 through Iowa and Nebraska. To get to 70, you would have to be on 80 in PA, which I hate. If your goal is 80, you can take 90 all the way to IL which I prefer. You're probably choosing your poison once you get to the heartland!

Well... I did say FASTest.
Boring is not limited to Kansas. The drive through Indiana and Illinois isn't exactly exciting on I-70. I used to drive straight through from Wichita to Pennsylvania. 20 or so hours. It's a wonder I stayed awake, even at the young age I was at the time.
thru rural NE (contact the Kernel of Corn at C.O.R.N. for suggestions) then thru WY and down west of Denver. There is NO % in taking Interstates unless you have to.
And of course when you get here, let us know. Give us a reason for a drive.
No matter what route you take, be careful! I've been in Denver 4 times and each time, they're working on the darn roads and always have the exit I need...closed! I bought a GPS and it helps through most of the way. It's just when you're actually in Denver that the fun begins!
