That I-68 drive is very pretty and scenic and would have been my vote. Maybe if it was the whole length each day, it would win. Or included a 7 day package at Rocky Gap Casino Resort. Great drive though. I voted the I-5.

I have spent enough time in my life on various parts of I-5. I went with I-81. The wife wants to stop in Hershey.

Only 8 heats in this round so we're doing well. Spoiler! At some point when you grow up, you stop getting toys as Christmas gifts. I remember the sudden realization one year when I was probably 14 or so that there were no toys after I'd opened my gifts. It was all other stuff. Even at that young age, it made me a bit melancholy that my youth was lost, and it was gone forever. But on the positive side, I got a really cool LED wristwatch. It looked pretty much exactly like this, and when you pressed the button some great red LED numbers showed up to give you the time. I really liked that watch.
