The author, William Least Heat Moon, wrote about traveling blue highways. I took that to heart. These trips that we take are not on Google maps, they're not the most direct route. They are the two lane black top roads marked as scenic.
Ilze plans the routes with paper maps and we design the routes so that we travel no more than 5 hours per day. Many of the routes we took report, using Google maps, to be 100 miles in 2 hours or longer. These are not the interstate, 70+mph highways.
Scenic for us is not the architecture, but the people in their environment. We traveled 4,700 miles from Chicago to the Okefenokee Swamp and back.
