Drive across this country

[MossRoad]

In 2006 we drove from Indiana to Wyoming and Montana and back. Yesterday I drove from Indiana to Mass. I continue to be amazed by this country and all of the different things you can see in such a short time. The fall colors were at or just past peak in Ohio, Penn., and western N.Y. The drive down I 90 down the hill between Penn and N.Y. was beautiful with the orchards, vinyards and lake Erie in the distance. The only bad part was that since D.S.T. ended Sunday morning, it started getting dark on me about 4:30 in eastern N.Y and I couldn't see any more.

If you ever get the chance, take a drive and soak it all in. We are very fortunate to live here.

You drove thru our property and didn't stop in to say Hi?

Our property is split by the 90 just past the Dunkirk/Fredonia exit but before you get to the Indian Reservation. Thanks to the high winds most of the leaves are leaving the trees now.

HEY MOSS you went right by my place about 15 min after you went by Roberts. as Robert said a lot of the leaves came down but there are some places where the colors are still pretty awsome.

You missed my farm by about 20 miles and my town home by about 3 miles.

It was a 14 hour drive. I only stopped twice for gas and nature. I'm in the Wilmington/Andover, Mass. area. I head back Friday afternoon, hoping to make Penn. before stopping to sleep. I should get to see most of Mass and part of Eastern N.Y. before dark Friday afternoon. I need to be back home ASAP Saturday as it is my F.I.L.'s B-day... he turned 80 and has treated me very well for the last 28 years and I don't want to miss it. Plus, it is only Monday and I miss my wife and kids.

That area was really pretty. I saw a few small towns tucked into valleys between 90 and the lake. You and Frank are very fortunate. Where I live it is mostly flat, with a few rolling hills, lots of corn fields, and lots of patches of woods. There are lots of housing developments along 90 going east from South Bend, In, until you get about 30 miles east. Then, the land opens up and almost to the eastern border of Ohio, with the exception of the Toledo and Cleveland areas, there are so many farms and so few housing developments, it is very encouraging to see.

I was able to start taking driving vacations in 2001. Here's my map so far.

Being retired Air Force, I've driven through all the lower 48, and flown into Alaska. Want to drive the AlCan some day...

Don't think I'll try driving to the 50th though...

Hey Moss, you'll be within 15 miles of my house -- where the MassPike (I-90) meets I-84 in Central MA...

No kidding? Man, lot's of TBNers out this way!

I think that's where the traffic started picking up last night. I was surprised how busy it was on a Sunday evening.

You're about 10 miles from me, if you have the time I'll buy supper. I just visited a fellow TBNer down south two weeks ago it was nice to say hello face to face

Yep, that's a lot of the NYC-Boston traffic... I-95 down on the coast is MUCH worse on weekends.
