East coast to West coast ride--questions

I have ridden some centuries and such and not new to cycling but, wanted to ride from East to West this summer. Figure taking July and August to do it if needed. I don't want to spend a fortune with some supported ride. I plan on camping most of the time and going to grocery stores for food so, I am on a budget. I don't like aggressive drivers but, of course used to them. That being said, what route is best? Northern route? I doubt the South would be very good. Is Canada better for mean drivers? It would be great to have company but, my experience is people don't do things they just talk about doing things. I am 40 if that makes a difference. Where to start? Is there some good reading on-line for free to read about routes etc? It would be nice to end up in San Francisco or North of there as my destination. I don't care where I start on the East coast.

Thanks for any direction.
