New route to Arizona?
After a year off snowbirding last winter (went to New Zealand instead) we're booked back into Mesa, AZ for 3 months. I'm bored with the way we usually go so I'm looking for something different. Mid-No...

I should have given more information.
We live in eastern Ontario not far from the northern end of I81. We have a 42' 5th wheel toy hauler so we're long and slow. We like to travel say 6 hours a day for 3 days then stop somewhere interesting for a couple of nights. We stay away from "twisties" (until we're on our motorcycles) because twisties make our cats barf.
The route to AZ we normally take is 401 to Detroit, Nashville, Memphis, Texarkana then I20 & I10 to AZ.
Sounds like you take the same route as we do. If you take the route crossing at the Ambassador bridge, be aware that I-75 is closed going south (I'm told for 2 years), there is a well marked detour that takes you across to 475, you re-join 75 north of Monroe, from memory it's highway 60 something, a local who posts here can probably give you the exact number.
You probably have stopped at these places but if you haven't they are nice stops, Natchez Trace state park south east of Jackson Tn and Village Creek state park near Wynne Arkansas, both are full service 50 amp parks about 15 or 20 miles off the interstates but they are the best SPs that we've stayed at. Both suit our 39 ft. 5er, you won't have a problem getting in either.
