There are So many old cars in the area in rural yards, some running, most not.

And you can drive on lots of parts of U.S.66 that are still viable!!
We commute between Florida and NC a lot between our homes.

Normally, I am out to set a time elapse record to see how fast I can make the trip. I did it in 9 hours when mapquest and my GPS says its an 11.5 hour trip.

I used my cruise control and set it to 83 MPH and tried to only stop for gas. Hard to do and hard on the family. Daddy has a problem....

So, I told the wife we should drive US 441 up. Its an old road that was used heavily prior to the construction of I-95 and I-75. It runs right to Sylva NC where our house is. So off we go this spring. I plan on a thread with lots of pictures to document this fun trip exploring all the little towns along the way.
