Hwy 52. Love this road

 

Rural America, where the only GPS you need is bolted to a post.....

 

Thanks for the pictures of farms in rural Canada and the US. While the mountains and lakes are real nice and appreciated the farmer part of me can never get enough of rural America.

 

# 14....and the first time I have crossed the Mississippi



Should have chromed it...



So, so much Corn.

 

Just for you.....

 

Did I miss one of your posts? I thought you were heading to Newfoundland?

 

I was. But decided on a whim to head back to the Rockies. In Nobandwidth, Iowa.

 

Good thing I downloaded the picts as I went. The hotel is a dead spot... I will try from the Pizza parlour

 

You seem to mostly travel 2 lane highways. How do you go about planning your routes or do you use your GPS set to avoid highways?

I am thinking of a solo ride from upsate NY to michigan and I would love to avoid the interstates but my memory is so bad i would never remember where to turn off.

 

I am a map guy from back in the day. I do use my NAV for some things, like navigating through city's where I want to keep my eyes up and then listen to the voice prompts...., but I still preplan if necessary with Google Maps if I dont have paper.

I have tried to set routes with multiple turns, but It is cumbersome.

If all else fails I would go back to the way I use to when Truck Driving. Sticky notes on the window. Then just look for the next road. Sort of like this ... Hwy 41, 10 miles to road 16 .... road 16, 12 miles to route 4.... etc. Then peal them off so your current section is the one your looking for.
