Moving On

Today's Mileage:  536
Loop Mileage:  536
Quest Total:  15,397
Present Location:  Franktown , Va.

Today was a moving day.  I was moving thru states I have already checked off, in order to get to the areas I haven't visited yet.  This meant that I spent over 300 miles on the interstate.  Still not my favorite, but it did get me to where I want to be, which is in the eastern shore area of Va.  From here, I should be able to cover MD. And Delaware tomorrow.  Nothing special on the interstate, but I did go thru the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel.  For those of you who don't know, this is a 17 mile long system of both bridges and two tunnels across the bay.  The tunnels allow sea going ships to pass thru the bay.  The picture is from one man made island to the next in the distance that a tunnel connects.  It's considered an engineering marvel, but they did charge me 12 bucks just for the privilege to marvel at it.  Only other highlight of the day was that it was open mike night at the local clam shack where I had supper.  The second guy up was playing a 12 string guitar, which was about 11 more strings than he could handle, which was more than I could handle so I bailed out.  I'm sure that there is probably some fine talent playing tonight, but it's been a long day, so I'm calling it quits for tonight.
