  That's another reason I like the blue highways rather than interstates.
  On an interstate and you miss your exit you may have to drive another
20 miles (in WV and some western states) before you come across another
exit, then have to double back, etc.  
  On the old highways there's always some place nearby to turn around and
go back.

  There have been times I've wound up in some dodgy areas but I just act
like I belong there and never a problem.  I might get a look or something
but that's about all.  And when I am out of that area I breath a deep
sigh of relief.
   Its people who walk around hunched over, looking all around in a
frightened manner that attract the attention of bad guys.
   Of course being 6'1" helps as well.
