Am currently halfway through a 10 Hour Dr., and I would much rather be on a train. That said, there is no doubt that train travel in the US pretty much sucks. But here are some tips on how to make it more tolerable: http://hubski.com/pub?id=38684 Edit: it is amazing how beautiful West Virginia is to drive through. Then you go over this gorgeous bridge, and you see a sign for Ohio and the other side immediately sucks. Ohio is really difficult to drive through, it takes about 70% of the trip and it's flat, and quite barren. 
I'm going to swear here. Is that okay with everybody? FUCK DRIVING THROUGH OHIO. Jesus I swear. That fucking state. I would avoid it all costs if it's at all possible. I hated that state before and then I was a passenger in an accident that probably should have killed me and a friend and fuck driving there.
My grandfathers 80th birthday party tomorrow evening. Shhh it's a surprise. I turn right back around Sunday morning. There for one day only. Why can't the speed limit be 70 miles in Ohio, like the rest of the country…?
