We are now in Connecticut, our 15th state of this road trip, 7 of these are new to Rangeley. Tomorrow we will go through Massachusetts, New Hampshire and end in Maine (all new states for Rangeley). He continues to be a fabulous traveler.
We were talking today how you never really escape civilization driving in the east. The highways are always busy and you are never too far from some town. In the west we were often on a road with town or no services for the next 80 miles and very few cars. The last 60 miles today took almost 2 hours, all on Interstate, but lots of traffic had us at a crawl for much of the way. We never saw an accident or construction issues to cause the slow downs, just lots of cars and trucks. The speed limit also goes down as you move east. It is 80 in Texas, then drops to 75, then 70 and is 65 in the northeast.
The main reason for this trip is coming up, visiting family in New England and friends on the AT, so we are very excited for the next couple of weeks.
