Did it in my usual 14+ hours. The trick is to not stop much - I stopped four times, to gas up the Jeep.
Man, the traffic on I-35 stinks. All along the way - Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas until Waco - drivers were courteous to a fault. On I-35, not so much. Or at all.
Driving ProTip: if the speed limit sign says "70", then going 65 in the left hand lane on a two lane highway is considered bad form, mkay?
ditto that

Welcome back..I guess. sucks to be away from the family. Been there, done that, but not for as long a stint.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for the BAR blog, we are honored to have you in the vicinity. See you next weekend.
oh, a question... can I shoot the stuffed toy with 12 ga. slugs? I have a few left over...
I-35 around Waco is a nightmare... all sympathy!
ReplyDeleteHave man-bladder, will travel.
ReplyDeleteI work for a Texas company and my boss lives in Dallas and he confirms I 35 down there is awful. Not so in lovely Kansas where I live btw.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why when I go from my abode by Corpus to St. Louis I cut through Houston to Texarkana then to Little Rock and up 67 to St. Louis I refuse to take 35 any more. Thank the Lord for truckers atlases
ReplyDeleteAvoid I-35 like the plague. TxDOT purposefully makes it suck so that people will support more Toll roads and trains.
ReplyDeleteNot to get all nutty conspiracy-theory on you or anything.
