ROTFL....I fell for it, hook, line and sinker. This is what happens when you get old

Use Skyvector https://skyvector.com/ for your flight planning awash, using low airways your route would look something like this,

 CANBY V500 IMB V121 DNJ V298 DDY V547 IIP V247 BFF V524 LBF V6 GRI V61 PWE V50 STJ V159 ANX V12 COU V44 HODGS V175 VIH V178 FAM V540 CNG  SYI V67 GQO V5 HOCHE

I'm not sure if the V35B will have tip tanks or not so fuel stops will need to be planned in later.

Whatever you do don't click on the "Briefing & Filing" icon in the Flightplan popup window as that is for real world use. 
Take care, Brett

Sorry, I thought you had asked for help in planning the flight.

Unless I have specific sightseeing destinations I usually get the route from Skyvector and them copy/paste the route into the freeware PlanG's Quick Flight icon. (Note that you need to get rid of the airways in the route for it to work) I then use the Range Rings set to my aircraft range and add in the stopover airports close to that distance. Works like a charm.
Take care, Brett
