Anybody keep track of all the roads they drove on

I keept a US map that colors the states I've driven in. I also keep a list of highways I've driven the full length, I-24, I-26, I-40, I-30, I-20, and some others.

 

Not in the case of Maryland. I have relatives buried near Negro mountain and Cumberland and living family all over from Cumberland to Baltimore. I have been all over the western part in a car. My big road comment was about being in a CMV. In fact I have plans to attend a family reunion later in the summer near Cumberland. This is my fathers paternal grandmothers birthplace. Honestly eastern Maryland is not someplace i'm the least bit interested in seeing these days.

 

The 1 year I did a Baltimore run doing food service I don't care if I ever go back

 

You and me both. Baltimore makes me empty rotting out from within from what I can see here. But we left the city as a family ancestral ground in one part about 20 to 30 years ago. Im still working on the Amish part roughly south of G-Burg- Cromwell which is near Lancaster.

We are or were western maryland for a while in my life before I made Arkansas my home. If I wanted to give you a thought, it would be about 10 years before I was accepted here at home by people who quit calling me that *&^% yankee.

Somerset Md and Warwick VA are the other lands I trace back to as well. Maybe someday I would like to return to the sea near Tidewater and do me a little sail if I can find a small jack to do it for a day. But am not sure if that will be possible.

There has been for all intents and purposes in Jersey only one place for me and that was the old 76 off I-78 across the line eastbound about the 6 yard stick maybe? I don't know if they are still a TA or buried into something else now. But that was once a base of operations for the NE particularly NYC.

Railroading is part of my hobbies here at home and the lines through Cumberland towards McConnelsville etc is a big part of the old Coal lines etc. But I think that's quite a bit for this post.

Historically as you may know we are or were the Old Line, earned by blood in battle for Geo Wash's army. But I look for a future perhaps that they can become free again. But when I survey the continuing changes and try to be positive it's harder for me to feel as bright each year.

 

Mine would just be a huge congested piece of map running between Logan UT an L.A. CA

 

I've forgotten more roads then I can remember.
It's straight interstate nowadays.
No more cutting thru the woods just too
see what's out there.
I'm getting old.
