I am looking for suggestions in planning a route from central Texas to Portland, Me. I would like to avoid large cities and too many toll roads. Our schedule allows us 5 days to get there. Thanks
Just a head's up on I290-it goes through the heart of the city of Worcester, has some fairly tight curves, and the road isn't always in the best of shape. Do NOT go through there at rush hour. You can stay on the Pike (I90) until it hits I495. It's a few extra miles, minimal extra in tolls, but is an easier drive. If you hit 290 at an odd hour, it's fairly easy to navigate with the caveat the lanes are a little narrow. Oh, one more thing to watch out for on 290-speed traps.
