St. Augustine to Cave-in-Rock

[Norsman]

As part of a corner to corner ride of the US I planned to ride the Atlantic route north to St. Augustine and then the Southern Tier to join with the Underground Railway near Mobile and then north to link with TransAmerica route at Cave-in-Rock.

However if there is a better route, say through Georgia, that is a bit more direct and is just as scenic I would appreciate the information.

"Better" is subjective, as is "scenic". Do you need a route that is "a bit more direct"? Are you time-constrained?

Personally, I'd take the ACA routes, but I like all the planning that ACA has done for me, and I like the fact that it keeps me off dangerous roads as much as possible. But if you would like a more direct route and/or one with more unknowns, try asking Google maps to give you the "avoid highways" driving directions.
