Well, my Dad says you have to take the side roads to see the sights. Taking the freeway is just getting there without enjoying the trip.
I agree, to a point. For those of us who travel this stretch every day however, there's plenty to see. The Fall colors along I-75 in Northern Michigan have been beautiful this year. There has been mighty impressive sky too, challenging you to pay attention to the road. The yellows seem brighter, the reds more fiery, and through it all the evergreens are a constant backdrop for the fall fashion show of color.
Those side roads will always beckon, but when you're simply looking to get on home, you tend to take the quickest way. Nothing says it can't be beautiful though, you simply have to look. Beauty is where you find it.
