Following the Blue Roads

One list we are working on is our return route from Michigan. We are on a time schedule into Michigan for Mary's youngest daughter's wedding. But coming back we want to do the Blue Roads.
We know there is US 20 East from Perrysburg, Ohio to Akron. Then we can continue into Medina. Once we cross into Pennsylvania, the Blue Road route is a little tougher. The two interstates--I-80 east and I-76 into Pittsburgh--are about the only roads that will get you across Pennsylvania. There is US Hwy 15 South towards Lewisburg and Shamokin Dam. But, you have to travel I-80 to getthere. We took this same route north last year when we wanted to try I-95. It is a nice route, other than the section through Harrisburg. US 30 east will take us into Philadelphia.
Leaving Philly, we would be on US 301 south. This will parallel I-95 all the way to Dunn, North Carolina.
Hopefully this experience will provide us with the insight to avoid concrete super slabs altogether in the future. The next 2 years will be a learning curve as we fine tune our planning and expectations of what we want to see and places we hope will allow us to share our lives with the folks of the Blue Road and take a few great memories with us..
