Route Advice please
All,
In mid May I'm driving the Corvette from Southern Indiana to Sioux Falls South Dakota to pick up our granddaughter for her yearly 2 week visit with Papa John and MomMom. We'll have 14 to 20 hours in the saddle ahead of us. She's 15 now, and patty-cake and peek-a-boo no longer work as they used to. But, she loves the Corvette; she was with me last year when I picked it up. We'll have a good time on the trip back.
Finally, the question. I'm driving out on I-64 to St. Looey, I-40 to K-City and thence North on I-29 to SooFoo...Interstate all the way, but quickest.
So...as long as I end up in Corydon, Indiana I can take a different way home - even take an extra day if necessary. Can any of you good people recommend a section of any major route back that would be an enjoyable drive and a break from the dial tone of the Interstate? I don't expect to find a "tail of the dragon" in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri or Illinois, but...
What can youse guys recommend? And thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Gunny John

There are several great on line services that will allow you to alter the most direct route, into the most scenic.. Map quest is a good one... punch in the start and the finish and then select most scenic . it will give perfect navigation check points, points of interest etc. Having a Garmin or a Tom Tom would also help.
You would be better served with a turn by turn printout like that found with Map quest.
Good luck with your adventure
