Once again I am looking for a relatively efficient route, trying to avoid the urban centres and tolls, and taking in as many of the two and three digit US highways. Would like to stay within a shot of the interstates to find a truck stop now and then.

Starting in Henderson NC ending north of Portland ME.

I have studied my maps, but other than the many routes through PA and I-88 through some of NY, I am really lost at either end. Haven't thought of a timeframe, suffice to say that by 6th June I have to be in St Paul.

That other leg, ME to MN is basically already worked out, other than heading from ME to southwest NY, or maybe northwest PA.

So please, those of you who have a wider knowledge of this area, please design me an efficient - hopefully scenic - route. By efficient I mean not too many unnecessary miles. (I am low on funds, but shhush! don't tell anyone.)
