Me and a friend will be making the drive from SC to the Eastern Shore of Maryland to hunt ducks and geese at one of our friends farm. We will be renting a new Chevy Impala to make the trip so i'll fill ya'll on in how it drives, handles, etc.

 

One thing that concerns me is the gun laws going through some of these New england states. We will be bringing anywhere from 4-5 shotguns and probably 200+ rounds of ammo. Is there anything i should be aware of?

The Impala is nice. That 3.6 is powerful. I had one a couple months ago. I will be buying one in the next year or 2 for a dd

New England states? What the hell way are you going, haha.

 

Depending on which part of SC you are coming from, you will take 1 of 2 routes:

 

Up 95 to Richmond, East on 64 to Virginia Beach, across the Bay Bridge Tunnel to Rt. 50 and north through the Eastern Shore of Va across the state line.

 

Your other route is through the hellhole of Northern VA, around DC, Rt. 50 east though Annapolis and across the Bay Bridge to the MD Eastern Shore.

 

I highly, highly recommend the 1st route if you are carrying weapons, hate traffic, and want some scenery.

It threw me back in the seat when I went to merge on the freeway. Turn off the TC and floor it. You can light them up.

Basic stuff. Guns must be unloaded. Guns and ammo should be seperated. Like put the guns in the trunk and the ammo in the back seat. 200 rounds isn't much so should be no problem.

First off Maryland is not a New England state and your GPS will send you across the bay bride tunnel which is 20 miles across and a toll of 12 bucks. Dont worry about the guns and ammo just have them seperated as said.

Gps will most likely have you coming up 95 then to RT 50 then you will pick up RT 13 then that will take you up into the easternshore of Maryland through eastern shore of VA.

Alrit thanks guys for the tips. The guns and ammo will definitely be separated. Does the toll take debit/credit cards or cash only?

 

Any good places we should eat at on the way up? Once we get on the Eastern shore we shouldn't have anything to worry about, my buddies boss apparently owns the eastern shore.

 

How cold is it up there? Are the ducks flying?

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
