Hi Everyone,

I'm planning to drive across country mid-November, starting from Los Angeles and heading to Boston. Any suggestions on the best route? I'm basically wondering if I should travel around the south or head over the Rockies. It might be nice to see the snow, but I don't want any major problems. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Greenie

Well, for something interesting, you might want to look into taking US 6. At one time, it was the longest route in the nation, and used to run from Long Beach, CA to Cape Cod, MA. It actually ends in Provincetown at the tip of the cape. The stretch from Long Beach to Bishop, CA has since been removed from the highway (most of it is now only identified as Hwy. 395). This could possibly be a long trip, but I think from a nostalgic perspective, it would be worth it. I hope to take this trip one of these days.

By the way, in many places, US 6 is the same road as some Interstate highways. For example, through parts of Utah and Colorado, it is the same road as I-70. There are places where it diverges from the Interstate, like around the Eisenhower Tunnel, for instance.

Here's a link with some interesting info:

I've read about the 6. Thank you for reminding me about it.
