    Man those long stretches of nothing sound amazing. Where I live towns bleed into one another pretty much. You gotta really move a lot to find somewhere relatively untouched.

      Loads of north America is just fuckin empty. Canada’s population density is around 4 people per km², and 99% of us are crammed up against the 49th parallel(the border) as most of the rest of the country is a frozen wasteland.
      When I was living in London, my wife and I decided to rent a car and drive up to Edinburgh for our yearly visit to her friends. Told my coworkers that we were driving and they couldn’t believe it.
      ISN’T THAT LIKE A 7 HOUR DRIVE?!
      Motherfucker, back home you do a 7hr drive to go camping on a regular weekend…

    • It can be pretty neat during the day, but man does it fuck with your senses at night. If youre lucky youll have the full moon and/or the milky way. Also it can be anxiety inducing if you didnt realize how big itd be and youre gas starts getting uncomfortably low.

        Driving through Wyoming on a mostly moonless night along an empty highway was one of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had.
