If you are going to the dragon and then heading west, let me recommend U.S. 64 across the bottom of TN to Memphis. You can visit Mr. Daniels in Lynchburg and even stop in at the Buford Pusser (Walking Tall) home and museum along that way. Memphis is full of cool stuff to see and hear. Cross the river and up 55 a couple of miles you can pick up 64 again in AR. and take it all the way to 7 North which is a nice run up into the Ozarks.
Just sayin...

dude...you're in the middle of the country. 1 week will get you anywhere and you'll still have plenty of time to make it back home.

I'd find that to be the problem ... too much choice!!

Steve,
Yes it is amazing where you can end up.
What you described is my normal method of route planning.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Good idea .... until you pull onto their drive behind 'em!
