I just found it nice to see mention of West Virginia, my home for 36 years I guess that I am in the "young" category of this list. However, I am very well travelled and a true Sprite enthusiast that

I'm retired. Time I have plenty of. Interstate driving is boring, even in a fast car. In a slow one, it can be deadly. I can still run long hours, so I doubt that there would be over 10 - 12 hours di
Way to go, Kate!! I put about 12,000 a year on motorcycles and NEVER the interstates unless there's no avoiding it! I learned a long time ago that you don't make much better time on the super slab th

I'm damned near as old as Cap'n Bob I'm afraid I'm getting closer to the big "60" than I care to admit, but I will always be a kid at heart, just like my grandmother and mother. Both would embrace an

All of this reminiscences of driving long trips sent me to scrounging around in boxes of my old records (including 40-year old Texaco credit card receipts), a task that conjured up so many fond memor

"real men"....hah! I used to drive regularly out to Penn State from Stamford way back when. Trips up to Limerock, Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen, etc. .....great fun. But, BTDT. Today, long range "cruis

"Back roads and avoiding the interstates..." Oh, yeah.... more time consuming no doubt, but definitley a more fun way to go for sure. Were I driving the distance (NOT!), I'd definitely be going this
