Yeah - -

But I have found those incredible roads that wind along the riverbank and have, maybe, two cars per hour. Since there are computers at every small town library - you don't ever have to lock yourself in to any specific route.

For example, are you aware that there is a paved route from Thompson Falls, Montana to Plummer, Idaho across the Bitterroot Mountains - half of which is paved rail trail? Or the "600" roads in Virginia run between nearly every ridge in the Appalachians - lovely old farms and barns and nary a car.
