Alternate PT Route w/No Interstate or Tolls

[starchief1959]

The HardCore Pontiac guys will be running this route (or very similar to it) for the Power Tour. We want to see stuff and not just interstate so we're steering clear for the entire tour. Will also be avoiding tolls. We will follow a route very close to the Hot Rod route with some minor changes. We will be hitting the smaller towns and stops that Hot Rod will.

Re: Alternate PT Route w/No Interstate or Tolls

Starchief1959,

Your route looks pretty neat, but if I can, I would suggest the route thru Chicago may be more scenic heading down Lake Shore Drive (US 41). It's really a beautiful view pretty much all the way down. Traffic may be a bit of a headache, but you would proabably be hitting aorund early to mid-afetrnoon, so it may be ok.
