North Carolina to Badlands
Planning a 6 week trip out west this summer. Heading to the Custer State Park area first. I was wondering which route was the best to take. Google Maps shows three pretty much equal distances and time...

We avoid St Louis and absolutely stay away from Chicago. If you want to stay on Interstates I'd get on I-74 in Cincinnati, follow that west to I-80 then turn on I-29 up to I-90.
We actually get on secondary roads off I-64 before East St Louis to Keokuk Iowa, cross the Mississippi there then you can go north on secondary roads to I-80 in Iowa. We actually cut across Iowa on secondary roads all the way west thru Nebraska then up into the Badlands from Nebraska. You see a lot more of the country that way. Go thru Wounded Knee for one thing and past 150 year old forts in Iowa.
