I think I have made a command decision based on some fairly heavy traveling in the last 3 years. US Routes are the best. I am US 27 today from Chattanooga TN to Lexington KY.
They are wide open, 55-70mph, rolling, beautiful, not full trucks. Trade of is you come to small towns about every 40 miles or so and you hit a few traffic lights some times, but you get to see the great small towns that are the real world and you rarely see all of the interstate stuff.
Second choice would be interstates because, well, they get you there I guess.
There are US Highway Rts. all over the country. Never far from interstates. Motorcycle, Car, Bicycle, or Boat, it is my choice of travel.
Alabama is, as the sign says, beautiful and I wonder why it has taken me so long to explore it. I will be back.
Desoto Falls, Little River Canyon, Ft. Payne Alabama
Sign claims it is a 100% pollution free reserve, meaning there are not any sources of pollution along the entire river. Just incredibly beautiful.
I miss road partner Schultz. Nobody comments when I pull over every 2o miles to take silly photos or look at dead snakes, and nobody to talk to at the water breaks. At the moment I am sitting 50 miles south of Oak Ridge TN in a wonderful rainstorm, inside a great little gas station market, playing on the computer, having coffee and watching the rain.
Seems I have believed this is how one should live all of my life.
This is video taken by a passenger, not me, US 27 in Tennessee with pretty fair storm clouds brewing on the mountain. I made it to a safe dry place before it hit.
