Saw this interesting poster regarding travel on Rt. 50 back in the late 1800's . Our traveling style will be slightly different but some of the etiquette will still pertain, such as spitting, sleeping and jumping into the roadway. Shooting may not be advised either - you may scare the other motorist - screw the horses. As far a politics - I know at least one traveler that thinks like me - right Jim? So I guess at least we can talk about politics.
Of course traffic has always been a problem on Rt 50. We have construction issues that may delay us for hours. Back in the day they had real troubles. Consider 3 days to travel just 45 miles. Must be why there were so many roadside taverns.Well, we have plenty of time, comfortable rides and I see nothing but good time ahead.
Those are some great tips. You guys let me know if anyone is leaning or lopping over neighbors when sleeping. Fortunately, I won't have to worry about it!
