Drive to California Day 1

These past couple of days I drove to california from DC. 3,000 miles of driving... what could be better? Well I started by driving the 450 miles from Boston to DC on Monday after finishing a 6.041 final...No pictures on the first day.. didn't see anything worthwhile. Here's the short story: Wednesday, May 19th

• Arlington, VA - 0.0 Miles - 6:20 AM EST
  
  Too bad the drive in my favorite state was the shortest.
• Maryland - 14 miles - 6:36 AM EST
  
  Not much to report here... except that urban sprawl around DC is sick. 40 miles out I-70 there was bumper to bumper traffic at this hour.
• Pennsylvania - 102 miles - 7:45 AM EST
  
  The PA turnpike is ugly. This state doesn't know about having a non concrete divider in the center of the roadway.
• Ohio - 286 miles - 10:46 AM EST
  
  Fuck this state. 10 miles into Ohio, I got my first ever speeding ticket. After over 65,000 miles of driving, I finally got hit. 80 in a 65. $85.00. Ohio sucks.
• Indiana - 523 miles - 10:46 EST
  
  Not much to report here... Indiana is flat.
• Illinos - 673 miles - 4:10 CST
  
  Could have stopped in Chicago I guess... but I was determined to make 1,000 miles in the first day.
• Iowa - 834 miles - 8:00 CST
  
  Iowa is flat also. There are farms.

I stopped in Des Moines, Iowa after almost exactly 1,000 miles.
