Interstate 80, because I grew up 2,000 feet from it in Iowa.

Route 80. Just because it's close to me and I use it sometimes.

I bet U.S. 6 would be an interesting drive. I've been on portions of it in NY and PA, and it's gorgeous. Definitely not the fastest way to traverse the country, though.

I like the 10 b/c of the desert drive- it goes from the bleakness of mid texas to N.M. to Arizona, and then to San Diego.

US 60 east of Downtown Louisville



Business Loop US 60 in the Louisville suburb of Middletown

I don't blame you - Interstate 80 is the road away from NYC and NJ through the Delaware Water Gap into the Poconos! The Gap is almost like a giant gate you cross that says leave your worries behind for a while.

There is actually some kind of PA group that promotes Route 6 and maps it out along along the entire state of Pennsylvania. I only drove on it in Pike and Wayne Counties but what little I saw was pretty nice. Hawley is a nice small town.

Although I like Interstate 80 in the east - especially in Pennsylvania, I actually chose Interstate 90. Just going by maps - it crosses the Rockies in Idaho and Montana and then skirts the Black Hills in South Dakota. Must be beautiful.

I would love to have a long vacation someday and take a road trip out there!

I-10 doesn't go to San Diego.
