Amen to all your comments, and Pluggers! When I traveled from central Colorado to western Missouri to visit a friend what could be done in a long day of driving would take me at least three. Sometimes I found myself in Oklahoma, sometimes Nebraska. I made lots of stops in antique shops, museums and ‘points of interest’. Love the old Federal highway system.

Very true. Interstates are for getting to the area you want to explore.

Interstates have turned into 4+ lanes of racetracks, with idiot drivers.

The best trips we’ve taken have been when we actively avoided the interstates and found little towns, lighthouses, local museums and diners, etc.

We have had riotous good times wandering the back roads.

One year we went from Southern California to Florida off the freeways. Best trip we ever had!

Bring back Route 66! And all the other forgotten Treasures. :^)

@ ODD DOG: that would take some doing as a lot of it is simply gone.
