    Any Advice on Route

    A good chance I'll be riding from Richmond VA to Poplar Bluff MO. Looking at a route trying to avoid the interstate. RT 60 gets me there. Any suggestions on other routes. Is 60 a good choice. Going to take 2 days to get there and will ride with some friends around that area. Thanks
