I know we live in a GPS world, but when I am looking for interesting roads to travel, I find that a GPS just doesn't do the job for me. So I carry maps, and I don't mean a road atlas. If it is available, I have the official road map for every state I plan on traveling thru. In the evening, I'll plot a general course of where I am headed in order to avoid traveling thru large cities, staying off major highways and to look for anything interesting that might be along the way. So I was actually looking forward to the ferry crossing of the Mississippi that was depicted on the map. One of the pictures below shows the present ferry. It was a bit of a disappointment, but it was a neat looking bridge. The other picture shows one of the back roads I tried to take. Nowhere on the map is this road designated as gravel. I've described both of these as disappointments, but that's really not true, it's always the unknowns that are the best part of a trip for me.
