I thought in another post the OP was planning to go to Yellowstone, also.
Yes, you are correct. From Badlands to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone I will take the main interstates. Getting out of Fl i will take I75 and was planning on taking main interstates up through GA, TN, KY, IL, IA, then over in SD.
I have been told by so many to try and avoid the Interstates due to the speed of everyone else and that, "I'll get there the same time because my speed wont change from interstate to highway". However, some good points were made here regarding the passing lanes and longer drive times.
I would like to avoid high traffic and will plan my traveling to avoid metro areas around busiest times. I would like to avoid the extra draft situations by staying off interstates, but I also do not want to add more days to driving just to do so.
It looks like there are benefits/disadvantages to each so I'm going to just see how it goes and have an alternate route (highway) to switch to if I want to compare the two.
