Today I said goodbye to New York City, which was way too short of a visit. It was great getting to spend time with family before hitting the road again.
I drove to Columbus, Ohio, and got to have dinner with my good friend Jeff, who lives here. It was great seeing him again. Back in October, we visited the Football Hall of Fame and checked out some cool spots around Akron.
There was an accident on both the New Jersey Turnpike and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, because apparently the turnpikes did not want me leaving the Northeast without one final dramatic goodbye and taste of a backup. Thankfully, traffic was not backed up too badly. Other than that, it was pretty smooth sailing.
The scenery through Pennsylvania was beautiful, with rolling hills, farms, and enough greenery to make me briefly consider becoming a farmer, until I remembered I enjoy air conditioning and not waking up at 4:30 in the morning. 😎 Parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio were farmland for miles. Somewhere out there, a cow definitely judged my driving.
Unfortunately, I also saw six dead deer along the way, which did absolutely nothing for my already existing paranoia about hitting one. At this point, every shadow near the road looked suspicious. I was basically driving like a man expecting a deer to come flying out of the woods wearing a Steelers jersey and bad intentions. All kidding aside though, when it gets dark, every shadow, mailbox, pole, I'm thinking it is a deer.
Tomorrow, I am driving to Kansas City, Kansas, just to sleep for the night, then it is on to Denver.
