Thank you Thayer and Richard. The Openrouteservice.org GUI map did not work for my Firefox. Graphhopper is nearly perfect for what I want, and I really appreciate you bringing it to my attention. It's going to save me quite a bit of time. This is the link I am using:

Hi Mike, I am glad this helped you. I am going to punt on this since a similar question about how to do routes in QGIS was asked recently, and I think it received some answers, you should be able to find it on the QGIS-user Nabble archive.  That said, my initial thought is that instead of using
