All great responses, thank you! I will check out all the links! And, yes, Tawanda i straight out of the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes." I need some of Cathy Bates confidence to pull off this trip.
I did mean to post here because I'm considering "up and over" if I can swing it. My relatives came from Canada and I've always wanted to explore there. My other choice is Route 50. That said, I'd like to know if anyone has any thoughts on either route. I probably should have posted two topics, though. Welcome to my life!
