Routes / N.Tier western ND Question...

« on: April 27, 2014, 08:29:34 pm »

Does the current (not the prior US Rt. 2) N.Tier route in western ND actually take one on I-94 between Dickinson going east to Bismarck? Thx. 
I knew there had been a change and why there needed to be .... I had just never tried to take a close up look at what the revised route had become.

South Atlantic / N.GA or N.AL to the Anywheresville along the Gulf, safely ????

« on: April 19, 2014, 11:20:33 am »

Anyone had any 1st hand tour experience traveling from along The Silver Comet Trail (GA) / Chief Ladiga Trail (AL) south to anywhere along the Gulf Coast, safely....meaning some hope for shoulders and/or low traffic with avoidance of larger towns (e.g., Columbus, Auburn, Montgomery, etc.). 
'Total dream fulfillment' :- ) would be to find a route to Apalachicola, FL vicinity, however, I'd be elated to learn how to just get my toes in the sand/surf anywhere along the Gulf, as requested.
Thx.

Pacific Northwest / Requesting advice on the safest route from Spokane to Sandpoint

« on: June 23, 2009, 11:30:22 am »

I have read that Idaho State Route 41 has no shoulders and has plenty of RV traffic this time of year.   Would it be safer taking U.S. 395/2 north out of Spokane or heading east towards Coeur d'Alene and then north on U.S. 95?
Thank you.

Routes / Requesting guidance on the safest route from Spokane to Sandpoint, ID?

« on: June 22, 2009, 03:18:53 pm »

Hello - I have learned from reading The Northern Tier Book not to take Idaho State Route 41.  Looks like my only other options are either U.S. 2 north out of Spokane, or travel east to Coeur d'Alene and go north on U.S.95. 
Any thoughts on which of these has the widest shoulders (if any) and the least traffic?  
Or, perhaps there is another approach shot of which I am unaware?
- Thank you.

Routes / Lewis & Clark Trail - advice needed for Independence, MO to Williston, ND?

« on: June 22, 2009, 03:09:28 pm »

Hello - Looking for education on the traffic levels & existence (or lack there of :- )/width of shoulders?  I am trying to get a sense of what it takes along that stretch to avoid mixing it up with a motor vehicle.
Many thanks.
