The Jan. 16, 2009, Chicago Tribune had an article that recounted reporter Josh Noel's 11 hour 15 minute drive to Washington, DC, with minimal stops and moderate speeding as he admitted.
He took all interstates, many of which were tollways (spent $32.25 in tolls) and only stopped at oases.
He was doing this a s a guide to Chicagoans who are traveling to Washington, DC, for Obama's inauguration. In keeping with these theme, he listened to the audiobook of Obama's "Dreams from My Father."
"Food and gas oases sit off the highway every 40 or so miles and the options are predictable and uninspired: Hardee's, McDonald's, Burger King and so on."
Interesting Read, But Should Have Gotten Off the Interstates to Enjoy the Drive Some More. Although, This Was a More of a "Forced Drive." --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
