U S Route 52

US 52 in red

  U S Route 52 will take you from Charleston, South Carolina 2072 miles to Portal, North Dakota, where it ends at the Canadian border.
  Along the way are places like Roy Rogers birthplace, Cincinnati, home to the high school I attended for my 10th grade.  It also goes through Indianapolis, Minneapolis and a host of other towns and cities that don't end in -apolis.  When you travel this road you will see America at it's best from the cities and small towns to pastoral scenes in the farmlands, you'd see crops from cotton and tobacco to wheat, sunflowers and corn - North Dakota produces more grain than any other state, and let's mention the recent "oil rush" too.
  It won't matter which road you travel, learning and seeing those hundreds of distant and different places, people and things will make it worth the trip.  Remember the old Dunkin' Donuts commercial "it's worth the trip"?  They were right.

U S 52 begins at 2 Meeting Street in Charleston where this beautiful Inn is located.

A CORRECTION:  Yesterday I wrote that U S 202 ended in Lewes Delaware, it ends in New Castle Delaware.
