Well, Wayne, we just returned from a 7500 trip to the "mid-west", which means we were east of the Continental Divide (several times), AND east of the Mississippi. Our trip included stops in MO, IA, MN, MI, OH before turning west and home. We traveled east on I-80 until we got to Lincoln, NE. From there we headed south to Branson, MO.
When we left OH to head home, we picked up I-90 in Austin, MN. When we arrived in Bozeman, MT, we headed south on US-191, a beautiful drive. Continuing on I-84 west to Ontario, OR, we connected with US-20 and finally US-395 to get home. I haven't named all the highways or places we visited, but this should give you an idea of how we "got east" and "returned west."
It was a great, 6-week, vacation... a mix of family and sites... some we'd seen before... some we hadn't... that applies to both family and sites.
