For anyone who is unfamiliar with the reasons why I hate Virginia, here is a quick review: Fun facts about Virginia: 50% of the nation's budget for roads goes to Virginia. FBI, CIA, IRS, Pentagon- all in Virginia. Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia They recently had a law allowing them to stop people at the border and test their blood. "Drivers clocked in the high 80s in a 65mph zone usually receive up to 6 days in jail"- under Virginia law you can go to jail for 12 months for anything considered "reckless driving"- that is anything over 80mph. At least one county, Botetourt, on Insterstate 81 has implemented jail time for speeding offenses. For a longer version, please see:The Ride Home from Homecoming 98 and this article by Steven Ginsburg of the Washington Post. Hello, Cruise Control? It's me, Rachel. I dumped the V1 into storage, set the cruise to a few mph over the limit and relaxed for 3 hours. I was grateful for my CB radio- the truckers replaced my V1. Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Pope-Leighey House beckoned from exit 161. I looked at Rock, his eyes still intent upon me and knew that there was no stopping in Virginia or anywhere else on the way, not for Frank Lloyd Wright, not for anything. I was behind schedule now, so it was a good thing I had not called Dr. Biggly (Mike) to say I'd be in at 315pm. Traffic Pro routed me around the major cities on beltways to avoid traffic so it was a little hard to believe it when it led me away from the signs to Rocky Mount. Gosh what a pleasure not to have to look at the map every couple hours. 10 miles outside of North Carolina the sun came out and led me to Rocky Mount. Look Ma, no V1! .
