Rte 6 in Ohio from Toledo to Cleveland looks like it would be a beautiful ride along the Lake. Its not. I road it thinking just that and found stop signs, stop lights, 30 MPH and so many houses so close together you will never see the Lake. Drop down and find a better route. 20 is a little better.

for us, to have them shipped/mailed to us (1-2 weeks), then to activate and have them 'work' in all east coast states that use them (few more weeks to propagate) we'd have needed to buy them over a month in advance. That was my point.

While somewhat true, there are a few spots that are nice, and it is a slow ride in parts, rt 2 would be faster, till you get close to toledo, turnpike for speed, 20 isn;t bad till Bellevue, and Clyde oh, going to falls, i would take 2
