To will is to select a goal, determine a course of action that will bring one to that goal, and then hold to that action till the goal is reached. The key is action.

There are several, there is a detailed discussion here.  I used Rt. 30, it was fine - a little too much traffic right in the Portland area.  Plenty of shoulder and services.  Flat, easy, decent views.
