I'm on an adventure, driving the entirety of the Lincoln Highway, the Main Street across America!

How it started / how it's going

[Roadtrippers @Roadtrippers]

Renting a car for your next road trip? Keep these tips in mind:

🚘 Book early and compare companies for a better price
🚘 Be savvy about upcharges by filling your tank instead of paying for fuel service
🚘 Take the scenic route to get familiar with the car and enjoy the drive

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

That's it! Visited my brother on the way back from NYC, then it took SEVEN HOURS to drive from South Jersey to DC.

But just returned the rental car and caught the bus home. Where I will loaf for the next few days.

Mission accomplished! 🛣️

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@LincolnHwyAssoc Oh yes! I plan on it!

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@JFSculpts @ReedCodes I did it!

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@pitsenberger Thank you!

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@MrGervaisWrites It was amazing! I'm looking forward to watching your videos and seeing where our trips differed

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@mrbnatural10 Thank you 😊

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@happypeep I did it!

I have checked into the final hotel of my road trip. I decided to stay in NJ tonight and get to the eastern terminus tomorrow morning. So close!

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

It's good to be back in the land of @Wawa and among people with familiar Philly accents (that I am definitely falling back into).

About to cross into NJ and my trip is nearing completion!

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

@dashifen Yes, happy birthday 🥳

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

Mileage-wise, I didn't go very far today. Emotionally, it was a great day. Back in my hometown, visiting my first college, eating vegan pizza. Everything was familiar, yet not.

The hotel upgraded me to a king suite, complete with whirlpool tub. A birthday relax is imminent.

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

My road trip estimation app told me I'd get to Trenton today.

So anyway, I'm heading to breakfast in Downingtown in the morning.

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

I'm at the Living Dead Museum in the Monroeville Mall, and I absolutely love that my phone camera takes "group photo" shots of the zombies

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

These yinzers know I'm from the other side of the state

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

The longer I'm in the car talking to myself, the more my South Philly accent is coming back

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

Took a dip off the original route to cross the river into Chester WV and check out the (reportedly) World's Largest Teapot

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

I went to the Buckeye Book Fair, met @BrianButko, and now having a coffee from Whippt @BarWasht and I must say, this coffee is HECKIN GOOD

[Reed @LincHwyJournal]

⛽ I'm not making it to Canton tonight.

📚 I can probably attend this tomorrow!

Fun event for book lovers (and who among us is not?) this Saturday in central Ohio with 100+ authors. I'll give an illustrated talk about my book on Isaly's, inventors of Chipped Ham & #Klondike Bars. https://t.co/TMmUYHr39c @HistoryCenter @IsalysNation #Pittsburgh #Youngstown
