I am in the central Fl area headed to Maine with (no time restraints). Around a month plus with more give than take. I want to stay off the beaten path. Interstates if necessary, but prefer two lane roads if you know what I mean. Not looking for places to visit, just a time out, and to smell the roses. What is a decent route that bypasses New York as I do not want to go in to the big cities? I don't mind going out of my way because I like it that way. How about some off the beaten path unique campgrounds that are out in the back woods along the route. I do this once a year by myself in the slide in camper to chill. The rest of the time we travel in the 5er.

Get on 301 and head North ,,,,,,,,continue via any secondary road you feel like taking

"What is a decent route that bypasses New York as I do not want to go in to the big cities? ..... I don't mind going out of my way"Head north from Florida to Georgia. At Georgia head West. Pass through Alabama and Mississippi and turn North somewhere when you hit Texas. Keep going North till you come somewhere in North Dakota and then turn back East again. Take the Northern Route through Minnesota and take the Northern Route around the Great Lakes in Canada. Keep heading East through Canada, and somewhere North of Montreal keep heading East and enter Maine. You will miss New York and New York City completely this way, and every other major city in North America! Sounds like a fun trip! Wish I could come with you! :B

We did exactly the same thing 5 years ago in our 5er. We left Florida with no exact route to Washington state to visit with the daughter. We went diagonally across the US without plans and no timeline and wound up in Washington St a month later. We left the daughter and continued to Alaska. We then continued back east on the northern border of the US on route 2. A two lane road that almost goes from the west coast to the east coast. After visiting with friends in Pa and Maine we traveled back down the east coast back to Florida. About a four month and 20,000 mile adventure.

You could take US 17 from FL to VA and then US 11 to NY.
