Any advice or personal experiences?
Stay off the interstates! Even where you're allowed, absolutely no fun or reason. ACA Southern Tier is a better choice, yes, but for an alternative, please contact
jamawani. He specializes in low traffic roads and can teach you how to map at the very best routes.
Good luck.
