Today was my first day heading to Virginia. I am truly excited but the drive is like pulling teeth... lol It is amazing, you can set your cruise control at a nice 82 miles per hour and lean your seat back and take a nap. That is if your wheels are aligned of course... Haha It is nothing but a straight road all through Wyoming and Nebraska!! I feel sorry for the men who had to lay the asphalt. lol talk about a boring job. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE those men who built the road, it is just a really long stretch of nothing.
So on my trip today I counted 6 trains going in all different directions. Not too exciting but what can you do on a straight path that goes on forever? lol
Oh and I also saw this huge statue of Abe Lincoln's head. It was totally awesome!! I wish I had my camera out at that time. Maybe on the way back.... Ugh I'm not going to think about that. ;-)
Wyoming is a very windy state. My little car was being pushed all over the place. It rocked once the wind was pushing me from behind though. Talk about a good way to make your fuel last longer. I noticed that they have these weird wood fences everywhere. I'm not sure if they are put there to make the wind not as gusty or if they have a different purpose. I plan on googling it in the future.
Nebraska is a lot of straight nothing. But I did spend most of it driving through clouds. It was very foggy through out the whole state. Kind of like it but kind of don't. I guess it is a bit scary in the night, I'm not gonna lie.
Anyway, that is all I have to say about my first day. More to come tomorrow night. :-)
Maybe I will post pictures tomorrow too. We will see.
Good Night!
I remember seeing the giant head of Lincoln once many years ago in a snow storm. I must have been nine or something. We took a picture. Take care while driving!
