Spent a few days driving the back roads from Chapel Hill to Brooklyn. You could do it in a day, if you wanted to. We took four and didn't go much above 45mph.

Highlights:
- The SeeSea Motel in Kill Devil Hills, VA - The worst smelling motel in America
- The 17 year-old who recommended, with great authority, the SeeSea Motel, beacuse it "had everything you'd need in a cheap motel." To which I wonder now, what did a 17-yr-old local's needs for a cheap motel.
- More old houses, new stripmalls, tine churches and loads of locals
- Deer, deer, and more deer
- Thinking we'd "cut across" Brooklyn, cause it "would be a lot quick"
- The raw, hours-old chicken on Linden Parkway in Brooklyn - 85 degrees. That's a smell that'll stick with you!
