We are leaving Elkhart for Frankenmuth tomorrow. Can anyone tell us the best route to take that doesn't go through a lot of towns with stop and go traffic? We have a 35' motorhome and toad.
Thanks,
Sandi

Take 19 north to US12 East. US12 to 131 north. 131 to M60 East. M60 to I-69 north. I-69 to I-75 north. I-75 to Frankenmuth Exit. Good roads to travel. There is a nice small rest area just before I-69. We always stop there to walk the dog.

Ronfisherman directions are very good but alot of 2 lane highway with towns before I-69.
To stay on 4 lane interstate look at the toll road from Elkart to I-69 then continue with Ron's route. I have also ran 20 from south of Elkart to I-69 and thats not bad.

Boy am I ready for this rally, I have been struggling this week at work because our pharmacy was destroyed in the recent flooding here in Columbus IN.
We had to relocate, reorder nearly our entire inventory, still do not have phones, faxes, or computers with our pharmacy software!!
What a chore it is to make do with Word labels, remembering what to order and who to order it from... Once we get the computers back, we'll have to input everything we did during this time. And after the rally, I'm going on a 3 week trip to Yellowstone, so I'm feeling guilty (not enough to cancel, hehe) but hopefully by the time we get home, things will be back to some kind of normalcy.
