Road Trip

Stumbled across a Dodge dealership in Kellogg, Idaho giving away a Dart. The catch was you had to pick the car there at the dealership. I suppose it would be worth it to fly out to Idaho to pick up the car and drive it back. Would make for an interesting road trip. I found myself daydreaming about possible routes home. Below are three possibilities: a direct route, a west coast route, and a northern route. Which would you choose?
