Well, I'm going to go for it and have a trip that will result in surely many stories to tell for years to come. I think at this point I have a pretty well determined. See below:
July 26th: Williamsport, PA -> Chicago, IL
July 27th: Chicago, IL -> Oshkosh, WI (EAA AirVenture - awesome airshow)
July 28th: Oshkosh, WI -> Ames, IA -> Lincoln, NE
July 29th: Lincoln, NE -> Fort Collins, CO
July 30th: Fort Collins, CO -> Denver, CO -> Salt Lake City, UT
July 31st: Salt Lake City, UT -> Boise, ID
August 1st: Boise, ID -> San Francisco, CA
August 3nd: San Francisco, CA -> Los Angeles, CA (Pacific Coast Highway)
August 4th: Los Angeles, CA -> Phoenix, AZ
August 5th: Phoenix, AZ -> Grand Canyon -> Albuquerque, NM
August 6th: Albuquerque, NM -> Dallas, TX
August 7th: Dallas, TX -> Missouri Somewhere
August 8th: Missouri Somewhere -> Jasper, IN
August 9th: Jasper, IN -> Williamsport, PA
And the map here:

I need to figure out where in Missouri exactly I'm stopping, and unless anyone is in Salt Lake City, I'll be looking for a Motel 6. I think I have people I can buy dinner in exchange for a couch for in the rest of the places, though.
Additionally, while in San Francisco, I want to take a friend flying. If anyone can suggest where I can rent a plane to do so (most of my time is in a 172 or a PA-28), I would greatly appreciate it.
Of course, stopping for lunch and getting dinner with folks is on the list!
If anyone wants to grab their bike and ride along for part of the trip, that is certainly welcome, as well.
