Tolls while traveling across the US
Hello, we will be traveling across the US to Maine from Wi. next year and going through quite a few states. We are unsure how to address the tolls we will encounter. Please advise what is the best way...

It is almost impossible to not pay some tolls, but with careful planning, the cash drain can be minimized. At some stages this will require a good navigator in the other seat.
I don't know where in Maine you are starting, just don't get on the toll roads you don't have to.
Routes 9 & 20 can get you from eastern MA to Albany. In Albany you can stay with 20 to get to 88. Run 88 to 86 to join 90 near Erie.
Stay with 90 through Cleveland, the trade to 2 for scenic or 20 for shorter. When you make Toledo, decide if you want to go north for 94 or stay with 20 across Ohio.
(If you are going to go north into Michigan, plan a day or two at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.)
Either way, you will have to start paying attention again about Michigan City (that is in Indiana).
How you go around Chicago's tolls depends are where in WI you are going.
We have a coach that invites killer tolls, so I have gotten good at this.
