So after driving 4000 miles over the past month (that's total distance I've driven my car since leaving DC) I've come to realize a few things.- Camping alone sucks
- Camping with other people is only mildly better
- I enjoy driving. Riding in the passenger seat is boring but driving is actually kind of soothing and relaxing.
- Attractive people don't drive on the highways. I am next to positive that only old couples with RV's, truckers and middle aged men/women drive on highways. I consider myself an anomaly.
- There is nothing between Charlotte and Atlanta
- There is almost nothing between Pensacola and New Orleans.
- Outlet malls in the middle of nowhere seem to be a growing trend.
- Louisiana is one giant lake. I spent more time on bridges than I did on land.
- Texas might be the worst state ever to drive in. Something about entering it and seeing mile marker 850 is depressing.
- Arkansas is home to FEMA's trailer park storage, which is the size of a military base, all trailers. It's like they want god to smite them.
- Being governor of Arkansas does not mean much. I've driven through the state and there isn't much there.
- When necessary a man can survive on cold soup, 100 calorie snack packs and cheese crackers. An aside to this is that wet wood does not burn.
That's about all the revelations I have had on this trip so far (at least that I care to remember). Hanging out in Louisville, KY for a few days. Get to play pin cushion tomorrow and see how many shots a human body can take at once.
