Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 27, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 27, 2016 Just drove 2200 miles from Iowa to Raleigh, NC and back and cannot get over the amount of road construction going on. A little over half was the same road as I came back a bit different route for a change of scenery. I'm not sure I went a 50 mile stretch at any one point where there wasn't some type of road construction going on. Some absolutely beautiful scenery thru Kentucky, Western NC and West Virginia. Definitely going back with my bike and riding that area some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to check out if you go: http://tailofthedragon.com/ And I found that relying on google maps reroutes helped avoiding traffic jams due to construction and accidents...note I said helped.

So what. We supposedly can accurately poll within +/-3% (statistical margin of error) by polling 1500 people out of just shy of 150 million legal voters.

Haven't you heard about all of the conservatives being pissed off that the republicans caved and gave Obama everything he wanted to avoid any conflict in the election?

Fireball 440 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 There's 120 miles of road construction on hwy 61 from Two Harbors, MN to the Canadian border, and single lane I35 all the way threw Duluth. Duluth is all fucked up with road construction, I take a back road route that's 5 miles longer to avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
