If you're in a motor home or towing a trailer or something, just skip the Fruitridge and Riley Road parts and take Margaret straight to 46. Less curves to deal with and the route you listed probably saves you very little (if any), as far as distance is concerned. Plus, there's a Walmart Super Center and some gas stations around the junction of Margaret and 46 in case you want to pick up something for the road.

Thanks Bob
Anytime I go to Seymour, from here, I take 70 to 465 to 65. It's a few miles more than taking 46 all the way across, but you can make so much better time on the interstates. Plus, you can just set it on cruise and relax. And you don't have to stop for lights in Bloomington, Ellettsville, Spencer, etc. Just take off early enough to be off of 465 by 4:00 or earlier, so you're not stuck in evening rush traffic. The off ramps onto 41, from 70 are open, so you're ok there. You would just have to use Margaret Ave. to get back to 70E.
