Enjoy this RV trip featuring the Old Dixie Highway, from Miami to the Canada border at Sault Ste. Marie. We follow the eastern branch of this historic highway as it meanders through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan. 

The Dixie Highway Association was founded in 1913 by automotive pioneer Carl Graham Fisher (who also built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway). By 1915, motorists were driving the route from Canada to Miami. The Dixie Highway system was two major routes, both beginning in Sault Ste Marie and ending in Florida City, south of Miami, plus spurs serving Florida's west coast. Issue 32 follows the eastern branch of the Dixie Highway.

In 1927, the Federal government took over highway building, and established the highway numbering system still in use today, with even highway numbers running east-west, and odd highway numbers running north-south. Colorful highway names - The Lincoln Highway, The Yellowstone Highway, The Old Spanish Mission Trail, and The Dixie Highway, were replaced by highway numbers. And worse, the Dixie Highway would chopped into many highway numbers. Today, the eastern branch of the highway is US 23 through Michigan, US 25 from Ohio to South Carolina, US 17 to Jacksonville, and US 1 to Miami and Homestead, Florida.
