We are driving from St Louis to Wilmington, NC and my wife has a crippling phobia of any mountain roads/passes. Is there a way to get there and completely avoid these types of roads? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

St. Louis, Paducah Ken., Nashville Tenn., Knoxvile Tenn., Ashville N.C., Columbia S.C., Wilmington, N.C. is the fastest route. It does cross the Appalachians, however all the mountain roads will be Interstate Highway - four or more lanes, reasonable grades, no dangerous curves.

To absolutely avoid anything that looks like mountains you would have to go southeast from Nashville to Atlanta then east to Columbia S.C.. This adds only about 30 or 40 miles, but will add probably two hours to your time unless you go through Atlanta in the middle of the night.
