You don't mention where you're located.  I took a long trip on US-2 once,
and that was kind of interesting, in that it's one of the few remaining US
routes that isn't freeway for most of its length.  I really am a fan of
taking old US routes when possible, instead of interstates.  You won't
make as much distance in a day but you see a lot more scenery.

US-2 may be a little short on traditional scenic stops, though.  I do
recommend touring the Ft. Peck Dam powerhouses, in eastern Montana, if
they still give tours.  (I haven't been there in about a decade.)  And of
course Glacier National Park and the Going-to-the-Sun Road are a must see.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan, while not on US-2, isn't
too far.
