Enjoyed your travelogue ..... even if you did a pretty good job of bashing my beloved state .... LOL! Tomorrow's segment will paint a much prettier picture of the scenery in NC!

Having grown up in eastern NC and spending most of my life there, I have to agree with you about about dull and boring it is to drive through. Much of the 4 1/2 hour drive we take to go see mother-in-law is so straight and so drab it's hard to stay awake. And after the 5 hurricanes that hit in 3 years there are even fewer trees to count ..... :-(

Funny story ..... on our trip to Wilmington, we drive for miles on a stretch of road that is so flat that the greatest elevation change is from the highway to the drainage ditch ..... except for the occasional overpass. As you cross over one of these overpasses, you look down upon a trailer park. At the entrance to the trailer park is a sign ..... claiming that the name of the place is ...... ta!da! ... Hidden Valley!

..... It cracks me up every time we pass by there ...... few places could be less hidden ...... and the term valley is absolutely ludicrous. At least the chuckle we get breaks the monotony of the trip ...... :-)

Yes, Highway 95 from Emporia, VA to about halfway between Savannah and Brunswick, GA. Seems like there ought to be a way to push some button and have the vehicle pilot itself through that area.

Or maybe because of the location the valley is truly hidden and you haven't found it yet. ;)
