I am a little chagrinned by the tough description of I-68 which for me is an alternate route with much lighter traffic than the PA turnpike for my frequent travels to MI and back. The beauty and grandeur of this route are only exceded (in this area) by getting off on MD Rt 40, the historic "National Pike," arguably our first expressway. By comparison, I-68 is a cradle or rocking chair, albeit, gigantic. Many times I have traveled the byways that leave north and south of these routes to even more breath taking vistas and hair raising roads, some of which are even paved. Up and down the Appalachian range are worthy rides within access to most of the population centers on the East Coast and the East Central United States, a National Treasure.
