Re: [DMCForum] OFF TOPIC: U.S. Highways

["Farrar Hudkins" <fhudkins@xxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Re highways: I couldn't find such an option on Mapquest; but I might try
Microsoft Strips & Treets since it's cheap software and supposed to be
pretty good. 

Re Virginia: Unfortunately, the longest leg of the trip will be from
Memphis, TN to Boone, NC -- I can't make a detour up to Shenandoah
without a place to stay, and since I'm broke (well, almost) I only stay
where I have friends to crash with. :)

However, this location has been noted for a future trip when I have more
time and money. Thanks for the tip!
