i have driven many times from/to dallas-new york. it is a no brainer. i'm 1 mi from the interstate in dallas.

the route goes i30-i40-i(?) thru western va to pa , then i78? to gotham. have seen great foliage in sept/oct. have seen interesting flowers in the median in nj. you can do it on auto pilot.
i could look it up but you can figure it out w/ a map.
