Went 28 South, To 40 East...ALLLLLLLL The way Across to Raleigh, To 64 East...Which Runs Right into Nags Head...took about 8 hours Total...I averaged 90 the whole way...With Spurts of 100 here and there.

I Had NO Idea how far away I was at any one point in time (Apparently noone in NC knows where the fuck the Outer banks is compared to there Location)...When I was in Raleigh I "Thought" I was like an hour or two away...I was still 4 hours out...Had I known that I would have gotten a Hotel room...But I pushed through.

Its my last day here in OBX...I am Def Ready to go home...I miss my bed.

40 can be a long boring road. I broke up the trip home by getting off at 77 then going back the way we came. I thought about 40 to 85 to 95 but I remember that being just as long and painful.

No shit! ATL traffic, even on the loop, during rush hour fucking SUCKS!!!!

I think Eric and I figured my trip home was about 700 or so. From ATL to here it took me 8 hours and that was roughly 500 miles. Eric took me the scenic route from the Gap to Cartersville which was a blast! I ate and rested there for a couple of hours before heading back out. I should have paid more attention to the time because I got stuck in rush hour traffic. I pretty much WALKED the bike through that. Talk about having arm pump! Not to mention it took over a freakin' hour to get through it....*grumble grumble*
