An Experiment in Scotch

Roads: I-20 to US-80 to US-69 to State High­way 78 Miles: 367 Time: 6 hours Well it’s over. I’m still pro­cess­ing the trip in many ways. First off, let’s talk some totals. I was gone from the house for 14 days, the longest vaca­tion I’ve ever been on, at least since join­ing the true work­ing …

Roads: I-10 to I-110 to US-98 to US-49 to I-20 Miles: 338 Time: 6 hours Today started early again at 5. I’ve been going to bed by 9 pretty reg­u­larly with lit­tle to do at night and thus, 5 AM becomes a nat­ural wak­ing time. With the stress from the car issues yes­ter­day along with …

Roads: US 250 to VA-22 to US-15 to VA-20/Constitution High­way to VA-3 to I-95 Miles: 130 Time: 3.5 hours The morn­ing of day 6 was spent at Mon­ti­cello, the home of Thomas Jef­fer­son in Char­lottesville, VA.
