Ever since I was 18 I’ve spent many hours driving on the highway. When I was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC I would travel home about once a month. I would be in the car for approximately 16 hours that weekend (Friday to Sunday), most of that time on I95.
One thing to remember that back than you would either change radio stations every 50 miles or change CDs every hour. We didn’t even have satellite radio yet. I had the presets ready on my radio for every change. I even made sure I had certain things ready when I hit certain areas. DC101 when I was around Washington DC. Or The devil went down to Georgia when I came up to the rising sun exit in Maryland. Anything by Florida Georgia Line when I am coming up to the Florida Georgia Line on 95.
