How do you guys/girls choose a route? I've been dreaming about doing a tour from my house to Wellsley Island which is in the Thousand Islands. The hardest part looks to be from my house to Scranton Pa where I would pick up Rt 11 which would take me most of the way to my destination. I've never done anything like this before and am slightly nervous regarding route options/avoiding civilization etc. Ideally, I'd like to camp enroute but I guess a motel would work as well. My biggest hurdle is that I'm diabetic and worry about running about food so that's a small hurdle.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
