Road trips are a great way to see the USA.
You can take your time, see things at your own pace, and stop along the way to enjoy off-the-beaten track finds.
Although there's certainly no shortage of offbeat attractions across America, these five top my list of fun and funky road trips stops.
As an added bonus they all have good access, so they're the perfect choice for slow walkers and wheelchair-users.
Hackberry General Store Located on an original stretch of Route 66 in Arizona, the Hackberry General Store offers visitors the opportunity to step back in time.
Just take exit 123 off Interstate 40, and follow the signs.
There's level access to the store, which features a vintage gas station and a soda fountain.
You can't miss it, as a 1957 Corvette graces the entrance.
Mc Gee's Landing Located just a short hop off Interstate 10, in Henderson, Louisiana, McGee's Landing is definitely worth a stop.
It's somewhat of a challenge to find, but definitely worth the effort.
There's ramp access up to Mc Gee's Bar & Cafe from the accessible parking spot, and good access inside this decidedly Cajun restaurant.
After lunch, save some time for a swamp tour.
There's a two-inch step up to the dock, with ramp access to the pontoon boat, but it's doable for some folks.
The ramp is only 21-inches wide -- too narrow for most power wheelchairs -- but some slow walkers, scooter-users and manual wheelchair-users will be able to manage it.
And the tour through the Atchafalaya Basin - the overflow region of the Atchafalaya River -- is excellent.
Fantastic Caverns Located in Central Missouri, just north of Springfield, Fantastic Caverns is accessible to everyone.
That's because visitors are transported through this drive-through cave on a jeep-drawn tram -- there's no walking or climbing up and down stairs involved.
There is ramp access to the tram and wheelers can stay in their own wheelchair for the duration of the 55-minute narrated tour.
The tram follows an ancient riverbed and gives visitors a great look at some of the magnificent stalactite and stalagmite formations in the cave.
The gift shop and visitors center are also nicely accessible with tile floors, level entries, accessible bathrooms and plenty of room to maneuver.
Clearly, this is the most accessible cave I've ever seen.
Lee's Chicken Restaurant Located in Lincoln, Nebraska, Lee's Restaurant first opened in 1945 as a twelve-seat beer joint.
Apparently one of the regulars got a hankering for fried chicken, so Alice Lee went out back, slaughtered one and fried it up.
And although they've added burgers, sandwiches and even lobster to the menu over the years, people still come for miles for their yummy fried chicken.
No matter when you go, you'll find the place filled with locals -- a sure sign you've made the right dining choice.
To add to the quaint atmosphere.
there's even a piano player that takes requests.
There's ramp access to the entrance, but no accessible restrooms inside.
Still it's a fun place to dine.
Just take exit 397 off Highway 77, drive two miles west and look for the big chicken.
You can't miss it! Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Boat Last but not least, be sure and take a ride on the Charles F.
Mercer canal boat, which is docked at the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park in Potomac, Maryland.
This historic boat is pulled along the tow path by mules and captained by a costumed park ranger.
It's a real hit with kids.
Access features include level boarding, incline lift access to all decks and an accessible restroom.
It's a great opportunity to get a real feel for 1870s canal life.
