Question for Beck and others familiar with cross-country drives,
I am headed from upstate NY to Colorado next month. Trying to plan my drive. The most direct way goes through Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland etc but I am wondering if I'd be better off traffic-wise etc to drive south first and cut across on some other interstate.
Does anyone have recommendations for the least-busy interstate going east to west? Obviously I'm not looking to go super far south to cut across but was considering driving down to WV and taking I-70 across. The problem is I know nothing about the middle of the country and what the interstates are like.
I'm the type to avoid I-95 COMPLETELY going North/South because of traffic. I take I-81 for a more relaxed drive. So that's the kind of thing I'm hoping to do going west.
