Most of the roads seem to follow a creek or river, because it's the flattest area, so you'd have a creek, lot of times railroad tracks for the coal trains, then houses and the highway, then a mountain, or the highway might separate the house from the tracks, but either way there was not a lot of room to work with.

Popular Post other dog Posted January 18, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2023 We've even started taking back roads when we go to visit Vicki from Florida. Those idiots on I-95 will run over you , they'll pass you on the right and then cut you off when you're running 85 mph. We both prefer running rts.1, 601, 301, and 17 even if it takes us 2 days to get there. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I am the same way.. When we went to the Yakima WA show, then to Alaska and back, About the only time we were on the Interstate is when the old US Hwy got on for a few exits.. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent a camper one way and fly the other.. We moteled it and it is 100 miles between towns so you either had to stop early or hunt for one late.. There are plenty of pull offs to park and spend the night.. 3 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 People have really turned the interstates into a drag strip they need to lower the speed limit on most of these roads and more cops…. Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob We'll leave here going to Florida and not even see a cop- until we get to Georgia, they've got plenty of them. I must be getting old- when I was still driving the last thing I wanted to see was a cop. Now I'm like "where's all cops, these idiots are driving like maniacs out here!" 4 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

It's funny, but true- it didn't bother me a bit in the truck. I could drive from here to Florida easy, the only thing I would worry about was if I had enough hours to get there and where I could park if I didn't. Now when we leave in the car I'm pretty well beat by the time we get to Gretna. Gretna is about 20 miles down the road. 🤣 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
