I think those towing big campers should have to mount a big screen TV on
the outside of the back side of their motel rooms on wheels with cameras
pointing forward on the front of the tow vehicle so that drivers behind
them can see the road ahead. Being behind those behemoths while they bob
and weave and strain to get up hills on the interstate is not a pleasant
experience.
........
Same for semi-trucks?
Actually, no, because most of the big truck drivers know how to drive
and their trailers are heavy enough with large wheels to not wander all
over the lanes or be blown about by the wind, and most of them manage to
get up hills without slowing down too much.
Really? You must not have driven anywhere that has very big hills.
When you actually get to a place that has them, trucks are slow going
up and scary coming down.
We drove up to Morgantown a few weeks ago. Lots of hills, lots of semis,
couple of buses, too many badly driven trucks towing campers.
Ant hills?
Hills with “escape roads” for runaway trucks.
And the trucks do not slow down going up hill? I call bull****.
Yes, they slow down. That's why they have truck lanes on many of those
hills. The hills around
Morgantown, coming in on I-68, are no fun whatsoever. Going up, for me,
is no problem. Coming down I
keep my speed down to 50mph or less.
From the way Harry talks, I'm wondering if he's making up the whole thing.
Fat Harry is an I95 kind of guy. He doesn't know there are other
more pleasant north south routes
I don't find anything "pleasant" about a long drive to Florida, or even
Hilton Head. My interest is in getting to my destination as quickly as
possible, at, at most, a couple of MPHs over the posted speed limit,
just enough to not attract the attention of the local or state mounties.
I do take 301 from southern Maryland to Hanover, Virginia, and then cut
over to I-95 north of Richmond. Saves me the aggravation of I-95 from
Herring's 'hood to Richmond. 301 can be pleasant once you get over the
Potomac River bridge.
You miss the journey and the nice things along the way. We are planning a
Glacier Nat’l park trip later this summer. Stop first Lava beds National
monument. Lewiston, ID for a jet boat trip to the dam on the Snake.
Flathead lake. Some Lewis and Clark places. Glacier and Waterton Park
in Canada. Enjoy a leisurely trip. Seems as if go to Europe, would be a
trip to Paris, or some other city. Not a region.
