All these questions on routing???
Just curious about all the requests for best routes etc, some even between towns in the same state. Having drove all over Europe while in the military there, and all over the U.S. while driving truck...

Asking this kind of advice from strangers is basically futile.
I haven't found that to be so. Certainly wasn't when I was in the military - because all the other sailors were strangers originally. Over the past 40+ years, I've found strangers more likely to give good honest advice than friends telling me what they think I want to hear.

The information you may get MAY be good, but the greater chance is it will be biased by someones idea of a bad experience.
I've felt for a long time that almost all the advice you get on the internet is a biased idea of a bad experience. Which is just human nature - most folks remember the bad things rather than the good things.
Asking advice is just one of many sources of information - but it is still my decision to take that advice or not.

I think this is what some of the posters were getting at. It's not that your question is wrong or out of place...it's just most likely a total waste of your time because you have nothing to frame the responses in.
I find the posts about routes informational almost all the time. Not that I'm planning to go there soon, but I almost always learn something. I very seldom feel a post is a waste of my time reading it - of course it is my choice to read the post. If I felt it was a waste of time - I'd ignore the posts - or this section of the forum.
