Day two of our travels

Where Are Today
Anderson, IN

 

Today was the second day of our trek to Arizona. Leaving Can Am at 7:20 a.m. we had a uneventful trip to the border in Detroit Mi. With only one lane open for RV’s and buses, we got stuck behind a bus. An hour later we were clear and, on our way, down I-75 south towards Toledo. We then took the I-475 south and then west to catch U.S. 24W.

I-75 thru Michigan is improving and I rated it at a 7 out of 10. U.S. 24 is a much better highway and I rated it at a 9 out of 10.

We then got on to I-469 around Ft. Wayne IN to pick up I-69S. Travelling I-69 to Anderson IN, stopping around 3 p.m. at Harrah’s Casino for the night.

 469 is in good shape, so I rated it at a 9 out of 10 also. I-69 has improved since our first years of coming down it, with sections of new pavement, I will give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Thanks for stopping by, for more details, check out Pat’s blog here.

I will continue to update our route and road ratings each day.

  2. I’m curious about fuel prices. We noticed them to be quite high in the upper states in the spring.
    Safe travels!
