Combine a 450 mile trip (twice) with extreme boredom, my blog, and a need to use my new camera… That means you get stuck having to look at pictures I took.
Haha-HA!
I guess I generally drive at night, or otherwise find ways to not notice the scenery. But the drive between Charlottesville and Hamilton is probably one of the most enjoyable, high mileage trips I get to make.
I was actually snapping pictures while driving, thus the “high speed” reference.
Yay! Mountains!
I always love driving past this dam. Here’s the overhead view.
And, even though it’s not high speed, I think this picture of Checkers is just too damn cute to not post.
The rest of the pictures are here. There are a couple from my golf outing on Friday. It was cold & windy. The course was sopping wet. And it is apparently “that time of year” for the geese; they were squawking around like drunk sailors — there was no quiet in the gallery. My game went straight to shit after the first picture. 4 balls hit the water in 2 holes. The back 9 was better — still better than almost anything else.
Wha Says:
That trip is a lot longer than I thought. VA + WV is large.
Was that golf ball in the mud a result of a drive in the fairway or an approach in the fringe?
Ball in the fairway — I think it was a middle-iron lay-up.
I had at least 2 other fairway shots like that — one that was so bad I couldn’t find the ball.
