When I get into Kokomo late (I come from the north, down I-69), I take US
35 from I-69. It's straight, flat and easy. And I always take US 24 from
Toledo to Fort Wayne (not that you would) and it's the same way. The
terrain just promotes good traffic flow on the 2 lanes. It's flat that
traffic doesn't slow down much and there are tons of passing zones.
