We travel the secondary roads as much as possible. We hate competing with the semis and idiots on the interstate. No matter what speed you choose to drive you always feel like you are being pushed to go faster. It is not relaxing. Being retired means slowing down. Half the fun of a trip is taking your time and being able to stop when you see something you want to check out further. What is the hurry?
During our 7 yrs of Full Time travel we also used secondary/back roads as much as possible.
Hate Interstates.....hurry, hurry, rush, rush, folks cutting in/out, whipping across lanes at last moment, traffic jams, stop/go.
Rather just cruise along at 55 and enjoy the scenery.
Small towns.....just an excuse to stop and get an Ice Cream cone at the local Dairy Queen
