- to document my activities as I plan for this trip, which is unlikely to take place in my immediate future; and
- to keep the Viewers At Home, however many I may have acquired by the time of my departure, up-to-date and informed about my progress throughout the year.
As I see it, determining the route I will follow on my voyage is one of the things that need to be done before I even load the car. Luckily enough, I was able to accomplish this in a couple lunch breaks:
Giving credit where it is due, I hereby award a Gold Star to Microsoft's MapPoint 2006 for calculating what seems to be an acceptable solution to a 48-node Traveling Salesman Problem.
I did tweak the path myself a bit, just to add a couple of sightseeing opportunities and whatnot.

Hee... couldn't quite help myself.
It's good to see the fabled lunch-break map! Of course, now you have a blog dedicated to the purpose, Clearly you have no choice but to follow through, or be haunted by the spirit of blogs past. The Argotend, with a silent 'argot.'

Try this; from Frankfort, KY take 421 north toMadison Indiana the whole downtown is a National Historic Landmark District. Will take you about the same time it would take you to get to Louisville.
From there you can head back to 65N or keep going up 421 to Greensburg and see the City Hall that has a tree growing out of the tower. You can get on 74 there and head over to Indy.
If you need a place to stay while in Indianapolis, you are welcome at our door anytime.
I'm up in North Dakota if you'd like to meet up.
Just send me an email and we'll try to work something out.

Will you be doing the southern states in the winter and the northern ones in the summer? (Thus avoiding the scorching heat while driving through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona &c., and skipping the ice and snow in the Dakotas, Michigan, Idaho, &c.)
