PA is the rust belt. In fact, we gave America what it has to rust......
I know, but I figure I might be able to handle a straight south to north two-lane backroads shot up into New York which probably isn't any less rusty.
The other options are of course through Canada, via Duluth, or Sault Ste Marie (Soo Saint Marie in phonetic English) or Port Huron if I can stand the thought of being within 60 or so miles of Detroit or Flint. I really don't want to insult the people who for whatever reason find themselves living in these places. I really don't. But I do intend to insult the places, and the people who have over time made them the dreary places once great places have become.
p.s. For perspective, Masters in Urban Planning, University of Iowa, 1976 - 32 years as a planner, redevelopment specialist, and community development director - who currently dislikes many U.S. cities.

Welcome to the forum!Chromehead from Nashua, NH., after 2-up to ST. Paul and Billings this should be easy.
What suggestions would you have for our ride from, say, Scranton, PA. (for this example) to Harrisonburg, VA without having to 'run with the 18+ wheel bulls" on the Interstates...especially in PA?
Which route to take to avoid heavy traffic, cities and trucks? Assuming it's still possible to get paper maps, look for the blue highways. This recommendation is based on Blue Highways, an autobiographical travel book, published in 1982, by William Least Heat-Moon, born William Trogdon
That seals it. If Tulliver is going, I have to go. I'll be coming from LA. Lower Alabama. Big city traffic is scary so I'll be planning a route, if possible, that would avoid as many congested eastern seaboard cities as possible. If only I knew a former city planner that lives out west somewhere that would be riding through Alabama on his way up that could help me plan a route and provide some companionship while on the road...
