Thanks for all of the help! We did it! Except, we bailed on US 52 from Huntington, WV to Statesville, NC where we took US 70 to get back to US 52 to Florence, SC. From Huntington to Statesville we got on I64-77 to help with the mountains. Overall US 52 was travelable with a fiver but in Illinois and Indiana the highway will beat your fillings out of your teeth! Iowa was nice but a lot of slow curves and hills. Best part was probably the Ohio River Valley where you follow the whole southern border of Ohio. Thanks again and if you ever have question now about US 52, I can now answer them!
