Oh yeah, you crossed the 301 bridge, I like it. Maybe you came down 17 or 60? Went thru the northern neck, dull ride.

My dullest ride by far was the day I spent crossing Nebraska on a two lane road. I stopped in on little town and there was litterally no one there.

That bridge always scared heck out of me. Feels like you're taking off as you head up it. I'll have to check a map when I get home. Both of those route numbers sound familiar. I remember making a left turn at that big military reservation where they have the Boy Scout Jamborees, and going through beautiful downtown King William Court House.  ;D

      There was, places in the west with little service, but not too many any longer.  California was for years a
leader, I-5 from The grapevine pass, to Stockton, was a five to six hour drive with absolutely nothing on it.  Not one
service exit, And the area was just small rolling hills with short range grass on it.  People had accidents driving off the road,
all the time.  Just falling asleep at the wheel.  Many people ran out of gas, and no way to get any for a few days back in
the beginning.   No cars used it hardly.  It was mostly for trucks to start with   It finally got plane surveillance for the stranded motorists....      Of course its been a long time now...so no more probs.

Was the name of the town Gatlin??



I started to answer no, and decided a better google it and I have seen that movie, in college. Me and my buddy Duke smuggled beer into the movie, we were fried, and half way thru I knocked my bottle over and it rolled all the way to the front and made waaaay too much noize.

Stephen King is the stuff now.

Never seen it. It took place in Gatlin, Nebraska?

I wish I'd had a buddy named Duke.  8)  :-\

Scared me too, and I only saw it the one time. I should add it to my netflix cue and watch it sober.

He was one of the best friends I ever had, and I am still in touch with him but we are no longer close. He got married and had a family, and I didn't. O-well.
