Road trips on old roads

[NE2]

Theres multiple alignments of the LH in every state (it goes through)

Except Colorado and West Virginia, presumably.

Main street through our town is the old National Road , Alt 40, the original alignment of US 40.  If my wife talks me into going up to Pennsylvania Dutch country we use US 30 the old Lincoln Highway from Gettysburg to York where it picks up a new alignment

Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL counts as the old US Routes in Orlando.  Pre Orange Blossom Trail (which is the place where all three US Routes in Orlando are designated) they were aligned along Orange Avenue (and preexisting Old Dixie Highway).  I have traveled that numerous time.

When I lived in NJ, I used NJ 27 (the Lincoln Highway) a lot.  NJ 28 was the precursor to US 22 (and was at first) and been on that in pieces numerous times too. 

The Old Tampa Highway in Osceola County, FL (been on plenty of moments) was the old road before US 92 and in nearby Polk County is the Lee-Jackson Highway that was part of that as well in which I used between Haines City and Auburndale once.

I had the idea of starting a similar thread about roadtrips without Interstates (unless the Interstate directly replaced the old highway, like I-86/NY 17, mentioned below) quite a while ago, but this is close enough (I guess cbalducc beat me!).

When I go from Auburn, NY to Selinsgrove, PA I prefer going NY 34 to NY 13 to I-86/NY 17 to US 15* rather than to Cortland (there's a few different ways to get Cortland), getting on I-81 to I-80 to US 11 to US 15.  US 15 is much more scenic than I-81.  If I were driving, I'd pick US 15.  The US 15 upgrades to prepare for I-99 have made that route only about 5-10 minutes longer than I-81 according to Google Maps.  It used to be a half hour or more longer.  I can't confirm that because I never was on US 15 before the upgrades (with the exception of Steam Valley, that area was under construction when I went through)
*In Williamsport, we always go on I-180 to I-80 back to US 15.  This route is signed as "Alternate US 15".  I'd like to go on regular US 15 sometime.

When we went to Frederick, MD, we left from Selinsgrove on US 15, got on I-81 north of Harrisburg, then I-70 in Hagerstown, MD to Frederick to rejoin US 15 to get to MD 26.

If I ever get my own car and drive to visit my friend who moved to Raleigh, NC, I'd take the route I mentioned above to Selinsgrove, and continue on US 15 all the way to Raleigh, then take NC 55 down to the local road she lives off of.

There was an alternate route for the LH through Chester, W. Va. due to the bridges.
True about Colorado.

It is? I haven't seen such signage.

I drove US 15 from I-80 to Williamsport last fall. Unfortunately, it was dark when I drove the route so I didn't get to see a whole lot. I'll bet the view down into the valley as you go northbound is pretty impressive in the daytime.
