This is me right before I left! Happy camper!
I passed an awesome biker gang early on in the trip, always a good way to start off a road trip!
Here's the route I traveled today!
Began in Annapolis, traveled right through Virginia to reach Lynchburg, where I had lunch, and now I'm all cozy in Greensboro!
Observations from driving through Virginia:
1. Slow Drivers
- It's not just a stereotype, ladies and gents, people in VA seriously drive at the speed limit and nothing more. Being from MD, I'm used to the stereotype that MD drivers are aggressive, drive too fast, and are bad drivers in general (my gender doesn't help me on that front either). And let me tell you, I exemplify ALL of those.
- Virginia is fascinating. People drive at the speed limit. They use their blinkers a half-mile before they are going to make there turn. No sudden stops. Obviously there are the out-liars, but I'm impressed Virginia! Go you!
2. Beautiful Roads
- This became my explanation to why everyone was driving so slow. The roads here are gorgeous. The trees are phenomenal and flowers are blooming everywhere! I had to snap a few pics (I'm a MD driver, so obviously I live on the edge) to share!
I know, I know, it's so simple, but it was just so peaceful and beautiful.
3. Suicidal Bugs
- I'm convinced that VA has a higher than usual population of bugs. Plus, they are ginormous. I am not a fan. My windshield is nasty-nast. They are constantly flying from the beautiful flowers in front of my car and getting smushed. Neither of us are happy about this situation. (I flinch every time I hit one, again provoking my bad driving)
4. Roadkill Galore
- This one I don't understand at all. SO MUCH ROADKILL. Small animals, large animals, birds. Everything. Killed on the side of the road. I counted over five deer, three opossums, and four vultures. Vultures?! How does that even happen?! It was so weird.And after venturing through the big ole state of Virginia, I reached the motherland.
