Road Geekery

I have been driving ever since I could convince my parents to let me behind the wheel to practice. I have been road-tripping ever since I turned 18 and went to college two states down; from there I just started branching out in all directions.

I've been tempted, at times, to put a map up in the house of all the places I've visited. Problem is, while a lot of the places have been interesting, the roads to get there have been even more interesting. As a result, sure, I'll list some of the places I've been, but I'm also going to list the roads I've taken to get there, focusing chiefly on interstates.

Interstates I have driven in their entirety

Not necessarily in one sitting, but these are interstates I have driven from one terminus of to the other

I-66 I-84 (east) I-85
