I had a very action packed weekend, so this entry will likely be on the short side. I love going down to Williamsburge VA (I have mentioned it in several posts). The normal route to Williamsburge requires you to take three different highways, one of them two lanes. If there are any accidents on the two lane highway, you get to sit there...forever.
The way around this problem, backroads. There are a few alternative routes you can take and all can be kind of creepy at night. One of theme doesn't have any street lights whatsoever and you go through the tidewater farm country. Heck a little over a month ago my mom had us take all back routes through Richmond and then to Fredericksburg. We got hopelessly lost a few times, but had a great time sightseeing.
The worst though, is going through the woods at night in Northern Virginia. Not only are there lots of people (who don't know how to turn off their brights), there are a lot of winding roads with little to no stret lights with plenty of places for deer to jump out at you. Ah, yes deer, the enemy of all motorists (insert joke about roadkill dinner here).
Its not fun and there should be more areas for predators to keep the populations low. Alas, lots of people and fewer hunters equals explosive deer population. It's an aweful combination. I knew a girl whose car was hit by a deer. She was in the hospital for a while. It was pretty scary.
Taking backroads is usually fun. Especially with the leaves changing in the fall. I just don't like taking them at night with little to no lights. You never know what might pop out onto the road.
