Highway 20 looks like a good way to go, actually. Though, Would still like to bypass Michigan and Canada, I think.. Maybe take Highway 20 towards Chicago, then continue onto New York. Through Indi and Ohio.. Thank you for the great idea, Doug.. Google Maps is great for the most part, but it likes to throw you for a loop sometimes.. Takes you down miles and miles of some back country road that suddenly turns to dirt and then ends in a dead end.. Would hate to end up in a similar predicament riding through the Desert somewhere.. How long did the ride take you?
