RE: A Southern "Cookout"

I actually read an article a while ago and they were arguing that the faster speeds on European roads like the autobahn is actually safer because they aren't so straight and you have to pay attention. They were saying the roads in the US are just so flat and straight it gets boring and you lose focus. The drive isn't too bad from Ohio to Virginia. It's beautiful natural scenery if not a little depressing. The area reminded me a lot of the drive up to Estes Park from Denver with a little less elevation and not nearly as nice of houses.
