APRIL 30, SATURDAY
Listening to the CD by the Brothers Osborne called Pawn Shop, a country band with a rock sound.
Took I-70 from Springfield through Columbus to US-33 on the east side and then southeast to West Virginia. Made my usual stop for gas at Dogpatch Crossing. Gas everywhere in Ohio was $2.30 to $2.35. gas at the Crossing was $2.35. I stocked up on my Grippo's caramel corn. I am told there are no places in the area that sell Grippo's products and that it is out of Cincinnati.
Then I-77 in W.Va. to the Virginia Welcome center for my Virginia peanut fix and gas at Wytheville, Virginia for $1.96. Best price yet. Had major fog and mighty scary coming down I-77 the last eight miles to N.C..
Stopped at Hursey's Barbecue in Graham, N.C. for some of their great 'cue.
Then US-421 to I-40 through the Raleigh-Durham terror, US-70 to Goldsboro.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

NC Spring 2013 Trip: April 1st-- Feeling a Bit Foolish
April 1ST
Left Goldsboro and took US-70 to I-40 and past the Raleigh-Durham monster car trap with no problem.
Approaching Burlington, I got off the interstate and stopped at Hursey's BBQ. I'd seen their billboards all these times driving through, but had never stopped. They're considered one of the best 'cues in the state, which is saying something.
They sure earn that distinction. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back!!"
Then, I-40 to US-421 to US-52/I-74 to Mt. Airy, then off at NC-89 and into Virginia on what is also called Skyline Highway, an apt name. Beautiful drive. My objective was the town of Galax, Virginia, from which the country station I listen to transmits.
Drizzling and didn't see any likely stops, so got gas and back on I-77. I missed the spot where they had that huge car crash in the fog yesterday at the Va-NC border.
