No. In 1972 I was in an exchange program not knowing where I was heading to. Just America. Arrived in New York and got a bus ticket to Great Falls Montana. A trailways bus Detroit Chicago Denver SaltLakeCity GreatFalls. There are more direct routes but to keep it cheap I was given a "See America" ticket and made the grand tour. 4 days on a bus, I can write a (small) book about it. Crossing Nebraska end of June was so boring ... there is nothing, just fields with corn as far as the eye reaches.
 
Also was in a GreatFalls LosAngeles trip, LosAngeles to Detroit and then to New York. Affordable but it takes so much time ... plus all the meals en-route plus drinks ... competes with airlines. But you see a lot, the perfect way to learn how big the USA really is.
