Oregon is a beautiful drive but the pavement is really noisy. I also think Western PA is absolutely gorgeous.

I hated driving through Arizona...terrible drivers, photo radar at every turn, and congestion. Southern Louisiana (I-10) will also bore you to tears; flat, featureless, hot, and humid.

How do you mean? I'm not sure where you are getting at. I used to have family that lived there, outside of Tulsa (I can't remember the town there). But I'm not sure what you mean.

Don't think it gets worse than driving through any part of the great plains states. By looking at the map, Nebraska seems to have the biggest part of its borders in the great plains!

enjoyed driving in midwest~ worst place to drive ~ Az~ speed limit too high and too many drivers think the signs along hiway are suggested minimums! Those are MAXIMUM speeds!

Favorite: Pennsylvania, Missouri. Lots of good back-country roads, decent blacktop, and well signposted. You can drive all the way across without going through any cities, and meeting very little oncoming traffic. Kentucky is pretty good, too.
Texas has a wonderful network of very good Farm roads, all well signposted, that give you infinite ways to cross the state.

Least favorite: Oklahoma, almost no roads except the main state highways from city to city, and the back roads are often not even graveled and if it rains, you get bogged down in gumbo. Some roads on maps, even the RMcN road atlas, simply do not exist. Michigan similar, but not as bad. Only two roads through the UP, and one is as boring as the other.
North Carolina, plenty of back country roads, but impossible to navigate on because they have no numbers that can be mapped. Illinois is just as bad. Maybe possible now with GPS.
Most Western states are impossible to cross, except on a busy major highway.
