4 hours from Boston to Ohio? You guys are dreaming. You're looking at 10-12 hours easy.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
Ohio is really boring to drive through. We've driven it a couple times from TX to CT and back. Only thing I remember there is the construction on the highway and all the fucking snow.
You want the most boring place to drive through, anywhere? Western Kansas. It's completely flat, and the main interstate is almost completely straight. You drive for hour after hour, and the only way you can tell you're going anywhere is that your gas gauge moves towards E and your odometer goes up. It's like a giant automotive treadmill. There's so little out there, grain silos become objects of remarked-upon wonder. Otherwise, it's just wheat field, wheat field, wheat field, sunflower field, wheat field, etc.
Ugh. I fucking hate Kansas. They should wall in the populace, and then nuke the entire state into radioactive glass. I had the misfortune to live in Wichita for 2.5 years as a kid. Bleah.
Arkansas. Its not really *boring* as it is dirty. SO many rednecks walking around with mullets and no teeth. I think Gidan and I had more teeth combined than the entire state.
We avoid that state completely when driving somewhere, even if it adds a couple hours to our trip.
Even worse, Mississippi in the winter, think flat, redundant, and wholly unattractive.
The object of life is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to come screaching in to the grave sidelong in a beatup wreck of a body, loudly proclaiming "WOW What a ride!"
Why in the world would you come thru Ohio to get to Connecticut?

well that either means you are lucky or the thieves thought your car wasnt worth bothering with.

Driving I-95 from here to Florida is the most boring drive EVER. Sure, Nebraska is big and full of corn, and Missouri is pretty boring...but nothing I mean nothing beats the boredom of I-95.
Worst drive is eastern Colorado. You can see the Rockies once you get into the state, but it takes fucking forever to get to them... luring you, baiting you, just outside of your reach. And then Denver can suck my balls too.

ive driven from palm beach to ny several times. not my favorite drive, but its not that bad.
try I-70 from kansas city to denver sometime
it would be more interesting to sit and stare at a wall for 10 hours straight.

I think we make some sort of backwards 7 on the way up there. or a /-. Whatever. We take all the major highways up...plus that's how Mapquest told us to get there. But we have to avoid Pennsylania now...*someone* has a warrant out for that state.

I'm pretty sure this is why the farmer finger wave was developed, that and to let others know you aren't asleep at the wheel.
