Upon hotfooting it out of Cleveland, I'd have to state that
St.Louis should be aimed for. Indiana & Illinois have some
worthwhile features but not memorable enough for a detour.
(you can presumably visit Chi-town anytime right ?).

After a day or two in St.Louis head for Ozark country in
southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. Pick up Rte 21
SW of St Louis before heading west on either Rte 160 in
Missouri or Rte 62 in Arkansas ( I prefer 62). This will
take you through a fantastic forested area with numerous
lakes and small towns. 

Unfortunately this area does not extend far enough for soon
you'll reach the Oklahoma border. As others have said driving
across Oklahoma,Kansas can be a mind numbing experience unless
you can get first hand experience about some of the nice spots 
along the way.

         Good Luck
