Thumbs up on the lesser traveled hiways and byways, we have a mantra for our trips that says, NO INTERSTATES and NO WALMARTs and NO CHAINSI've always wanted to ride across along a northern route, thru Wisconsin & Minnesota, after crossing into Wisconsin from the U.P.
In general, I like to ride U.S. highways- local establishments like mom-n-pop motels & restaurants, funky old style attractions (think:World's Largest Ball of String), and stuff like that make such riding far more worthwhile than slabbing it.
Did that exact same route mentioned above from East to West a couple of years ago. Rte 2 (The Highline) across Montana is an experience all of its own. A lot of time to ponder the meaning of life/your place in this crazy world with awesome scenery. Plus you get to see the Rockies grow, which was totally wild for an East Coast Boy heading west for the first time.
I would advise to stay away from the Williston ND area and if you go through do it during the day and get at least 100 miles away before looking for a room or campground. The area is crazy with oil/gas exploration. Hundreds of big trucks travelling at breakneck speeds.
We went through that area in 2011 and were told there had not been an open hotel room there for 2 years. Drove through Watford City which is about 80 miles south of there a couple weeks ago and same situation.
