Which cities should Cody McCloy visit in his 1978 biofueled Scout?

While they're road-testing the long-distance viability of biodiesel fuel made with renewable resources, Cody and Brian are looking for interesting roadside attractions.

What's most interesting to you? Space aliens, nuclear weapons, Western history or a mile-wide meteorite crater?

Vote on their road trip destination from these choices:

Roswell, New Mexico: This town is famous as the site of the 1947 Roswell "incident," which conspiracy theorists suspect was a massive cover up of the crash of an alien spacecraft. The town has turned that lore into a kitschy cash tourism industry. It's also not far from a government storage facility for defense-related nuclear waste.

Los Alamos, New Mexico: Speaking of nuclear... this destination will forever be known as the birthplace of nuclear weapons. Museums display authentic memorabilia surrounding the super-secret U.S. "Manhattan Project" in the 1940s to invent the world's first atomic bomb. See map of Cody's route »

Santa Fe, New Mexico: This city, founded around 1607, is the second oldest in the United States. It boasts remnants of Santa Fe's Wild West frontier days and has a Civil War legacy. Or, visitors can go thousands of years back in time to learn about the lives of ancient Native Americans.

Winslow, Arizona: The Eagles sang about it in 1972's "Take it Easy," and the town is so proud of that lyrical mention that it has a park in honor of the line "Standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona." The park is on a corner, of course. Also, Winslow is near Meteor Crater, called "the first proven, best-preserved meteorite crater on Earth." The 50,000-year-old crater is about a mile wide and 500 feet deep, according to its Web site.
