Help planning my trip

[JeffBoyette]

Planning my trip for my maiden voyage on my new Srt-10. Ill be going from Geodrillers house in Pekin IL, to Eglin AFB Fl. Debating on taking 2 routes. Ill be driving over 2 days so the time difference of 3 hours doesnt amount to much. The map looks like if i take 74 to 75 i might be going through some mountains. Would i be seeing anything scenic, or taking any roads worth driving taking this route?

I-65 871 miles 15hrs
St Louis,
Nashville
Birmingham
Montgomery

or

74 to 75 to 59 1061 miles 17hrs 45 minutes
Indianapolis
Cincinnati or Louisville
Lexington
Knoxville
Chattanooga
Birmingham
Montgomery

Please advise.

I drove from Chicago to Chattanooga and it was fairly pleasant drive once I got passed Indiana. I think it took 10 hrs going 80mph but it didn't feel that long. TN is gorgeous to drive through and there were a some twisty roads through the mountains.

I live just north of Indianapolis, I'll keep an eye on this thread and if I figure out when you're coming thru Indy, maybe I'll get ole Blue out and cruise with you for awhile :rock: I just took my buddy to Franklin Tn last month to pick up a SRT10 he bought, and it was a nice drive down 65...
