I use google maps if I'm not sure of a route. Usually hairpin turns etc. Using street view you can cruise to your heart's delight. Over 100,000 miles on our coach and less than 15,000 are interstate miles. I love old farmhouses and barns, my wife loves old churches. You won't see either traveling the interstates. Nothing on the Interstates cept traffic and asphalt/concrete. No thanks. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what happens in the small cities. Your travels will take quite a bit longer though. We don't travel more than 150-200 miles in one day and stay a week or longer when we stop. Use the toad to visit the many many things you'll see in the out of the way places......Dennis
I agree 100%. We never had a destination on any of our trips, other than East or West. We never made reservations and by traveling the back roads we were surprised to find that we always had a place to park for the night. For us the "journey" was the experience since the destination might be any of the small towns we drove through. We especially like the weekends to travel the back roads. We would stumble on a local festival or a large flea market or something else that peaked our interest. We also were able to meet many people that we never would have met otherwise. If we just wanted to get to a destination, why not fly instead of using the interstate highways? Flying is definitely cheaper than using an RV just to get from A to B.
