    Default Some More Great Interstate Drives

    I'm a big-time two laner, but have found some really great drives along interstates.

    This past month, I drove to North Carolina for a visit with family, fortunately before the big gas jump of the past two days. Gas went up 20 cents a gallon here in northern Illinois.

    That cruise on the West Virginia Turnpike was well worth the $3.75 admission for tolls, especially since the trees were starting to turn. That is one impressive piece of construction.

    Coming back I cruised I-40 and the stretch either side of the Tennessee-NC border was also a pleasure.

    Last year, we drove I-70 from its western terminus in Utah to Denver. All I can say is WOW!!!

    Default One of the Best

    When I first drove the West Virginia Turnpike, it was a two-lane road (with the occasional third 'suicide' lane for passing). Nevertheless, it was, even so, an engineering marvel and a scenic wonder. One of the few toll roads that I'll go out of my way to use.

    Another super slab that is still quite the thrill to drive is the Pasadena Freeway -- it features dead-stop on-ramps with less than optimal visual clearance -- a real thrill to merge when driving a stick shift...
