I'll bow in shame and take the non-road road trip. H3 is easy and seems pleasant. I-86 and I-26 don't seem that compelling, and A1 ends in the middle of nowhere.

Point of order, if you will, Mr. Chairman.

I'm sorry, I have a hard time considering any road an "interstate" if it starts and ends in the same frackin' state.

That's an intrastate highway, not an interstate highway.

I cede my time back to the gentleman from Colorado.

There have been questions about this, but I am in no power to remove them from consideration since they use Interstate Highway funds. Point taken, though.

I picked I-26. I've never been that way and I think it would be a beautiful drive. You get to cross the Eastern Continental Divide (which I have never heard of) a couple of mountain ranges and North Carolinas highest bridge.
