Trail of the Lonesome Pine, U.S. Route 23 from NC to Oh? Is it still 2 lane, or is it 4 lane now? It use to be a interesting highway many years ago!

If you get anywhere near Ashville NC you have to see Builtmore Estates.

If you are hungry i highly recommend the "Dillard House restaurant",its on 441 just before you cross into NC from Ga,i guarantee you wont be hungry when you leave.
If you dont mind twisty roads 28n out of Franklin gets very scenic and twisty, if you take it far enough (30 miles) you come to The dragon which is twisty to the extreme and has become the mecca for sport car/bike enthusiasts,a little more scenic and less twisty is the Cherohala Skyway
Here are some maps of the area.

One way would be to take US441 north out of FL and all the way across the GSMNP and to I40 in TN. East on I40/I81 to US23, follow that north all the way to NW Ohio and MI. We drive this route several times a year to get from Central FL to NW Ohio and the Toledo area.
If you are still wanting to run the back roads continue on to the UP of MI (your choice of roads) and pick US2 and follow that west.
With a good set of maps you can refine this general route to fit your itinerary, stops and local driving. We have traveled US2 several times on our way to the Pacific NW...

If you are heading from the East coast towards Michigan, I would recommend route 40. It goes from Baltimore to St. Louis, and someplace in Ohio you can head north toward Michigan.
Route 40 was the historic "National Road", along which many, many of the settlers from the east traveled toward the west to their new homes.
There is a great National Road museum about half way between Columbus and West Virginia, 10 miles east of Zanesville. It is well worth the visit.

In michigan I would suggest going all the way to Sault Ste Marie and the locks and the west to see the sights along the south shore of lake Superior including Whitefish Point, Pictured rocks, Munising, Copper Harbor on the Keeweenaw Peninsula, the Porcupine Mountains. Into Wisconsin take U.S. 2 to Ashland and the head north on 13 to Washburn,Bayfield, Cornucopia and over to Duluth-Superior on 13 where you get back to US 2. Duluth's Canal Park is a nice visit with lots of good eating establishments.
