I just realized I can take old Rt. 50 all the way to Sedalia, starting on Rt. 50 about two miles from my house here in the DC area. Total is just a hair over 1,000 miles.
That could be a heck of a ride! Any other east coast denizens interested in traversing the heart of America the way people did it 75 years ago, the time before Interstates? Cincinnati and its delicious Skyline Chilli is just about halfway and would make an excellent stop for the night.
