Leaving Cleve. Ohio area to go to Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, etc, then will drop down to Grand Canyon, visit Arizona, Dallas, TX area, up to Branson, Mo and back to Ohio. Has anyone done a trip like this traveling roads other than Interstates? Towing small RV travel trailer (21'). Thanks

Lots do it, but IMHO once you get West of the Mississippi River the back roads will still allow you to make good time and not wear out your brakes, the biggest issue is just taking the time and making the effort to DO IT.

Stop in the Towns - Talk to the People - Eat in the Local Restaurants - Walk through the town Parks - just Get Out and enjoy the Experience, you will be rewarded.

Couple Links that might just help,

An RV'ing couple's pictures of a similar journey, might just provide some insight.

Sometimes it just hard to slow down and smell the Roses - but the Rewards are well worth the effort!

BOL,
