Sucks.

six hours to get from Fredricksburg to just North of Baltimore.

You people need to learn how to drive. The whole idea is not to hit
other cars thus blocking five lanes of interstate and locking them up
in gridlock.

Morons. :)

Oh, and Virginia drivers suck.

Woulnd't be a trip report without mentioning that drivers in Virginia
suck. :)



I often took the longer, but much more scenic Rt 84/Rt81 route when going
to Florida for exactly that reason. I'd cut back over to 95 just north of
Tennessee.


Normally, that's how we go, but Mrs. Wave had to stop along the way
for an hour so we went 95.

However, that being all well and good, that corridor is a national
disgrace and if I were a citizen of Maryland or Virginia and had to
travel that route, I'd be screaming bloody murder about the incredible
incompetence of the designer and builder of that road.

They've been working on that for at least 15 years and still don't
have it right.

Some contractors welfare plan apparently.

Add in the moron drivers they have in Virginia and it's a recipe for
diaster.


The only people that hate it worse are those of us who live here. I hate
going to Fredricksburg to play golf and then spend an hour and a half
getting back home - in the opposite direction of rush hour traffic.

If you come through about 5 AM, it's not at all bad.
