Question Which route to choose please help

Hi

I am organising a charity trip to raise money for research into a cure for Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer.

I have being researching a route with help from you guys, while another committee member has researched another route. I would be interested to hear which route you guys would think to be the best.

Option 1 Option 2
Seattle Washington DC
Vancouver Atlantic City
Kamloops Norfolk
Jasper Raleigh
Banff Charlotte
Waterton Park Knoxville
Sandpoint Lexington
Yakima Charlston
Seattle Cumberland
Washington DC

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Lifeline,
"Best" route for what purpose?

To enjoy the ride/ scenery, Seattle-BC-Seattle wins hands down.

To raise money for the charity? Perhaps the Washington/ East Coast route--IF you intend to try fundraising along the way, vs. fundraising from friends/ online contacts [?].
