Hi there folks. We will be leaving this Saturday for our Family Summer Road Trip. Seeking advise from all of you who are familiar with, or have travelled along the destinations we will be heading to.
In a nutshell, we have 21 days for this trip (that is all what we have been approved for at work). I will be doing all the driving. I know that it is a LOT of driving. But we will try to enjoy each day of the trip. So, here is where we will be heading. I have used mapquest to have an idea on the routes to take. We will also be using our GPS.
However, I would like to seek your suggestions to avoid major city traffic (any bypass freeways), avoid current major road constructions and lastly, to avoid (if possible) steep mountain passes.
Here are our Stops where we have campground reservations. Any sceneries along the way will be a bonus. We will be coming from Las Vegas, NV. MapQuest gave me the following major freeways:
1. Cherry Hill Park (College Park, MD)
15 North
93 South
40 East (Passing through Phoenix, AZ, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Memphis/Nashville)
24 East (Passing through Knoxville/Chattanooga)
40 East
81 North
66 East
495 North
US 1 South
2. From MD TO: (Liberty Harbor RV (Jersey City, NJ)
95 North
295 North
78 East
3. From NJ(TO: Niagara Falls, ON)
"Will follow GPS"
4. From ON TO: (Mt. Rushmore, SD)
"Will follow GPS. Any suggestions on major freeways to take"?
Thank you for your suggestions.
