Longest drive so far... Sept 24, 2014
Yes, I know...
I said I wouldn't do it, but I did.
Spent more time on the road today than any other day.
Weather was clear and 70's. Roadways were flat and scenic. So why then?
Well, truckers were out in force and traffic delays. Nope not delays but STOPS!!
I spent 40 minutes in standstill traffic on I-74 just west of Cincinnati before I turned to find another destination. I was on the road for 7 hours today and traveled 298 miles.
Ok so the good part of my day was this... Great driving weather and beautiful countryside.
I have never seen so much CORN in one day as I did today :). What I did notice was that downtowns still look like downtowns back home with for rent signs in storefront windows, homes with kids bikes leaned up against the tree by the roadway, a little red Radio Flyer wagon with colorful toys all around on front lawns. Leafy trees still look as the ones in Maine do with spots of orange and red. ( No pines or evergreens seen today though).
Tomorrow I'm staying put and going to venture out to the areas national forests and state parks for a visit. I promise to report back...
