Question Planning a trip

I am planning to take a trip from Lexington, KY to Marion, OH in the spring. I want to take a back (scenic) route. I plan to take 68 west from Lexington to Maysville, cross the river at Maysville and continue north on 68 in Ohio. At Springfield I will take Rt 4 to Marion. I know 68 from Lexington to Maysville is a very nice ride and I am very familiar with RT 4 from Springfield to Marion. I've never been on 68 north from the river to Springfield. Was wondering if this is a good route. Any one know it and do you recommend it or maybe there are other suggestions. I like to avoid interstates as much as possible. Any suggestions and or feedback would be appreciated.
