  1. We love this list! We have traveled 39 of the 100 highways listed here and we are looking forward to seeing as many of the 100 as possible. Of course, We have traveled more highways than are listed here. We have done it all in our 2004 Winnebago Adventurer (35U) we bought from Paul Evert in Fresno.
