79 is apparently 10 better than 69, and there I was thinking nothing was better than 69. 79 was a good year. Jimmy Carter was around, and that man was a damn good man, wasn't he. Things got sour after that. People are different now. All is materialism. But there are still some highways, even out here in the bustling North East, which are unspoiled like the old days. Interstate 79 is one of those. From the moment you leave Erie, to the suburbs of Pittsburgh, you will see nothing at all but wooded and hilly scenery. It's peaceful and lonely. It's perfect. South of Pitt, it gets even more spectacular. After Washington, PA, you drive across the gorgeous and undiscovered gem of West Virginia, through the mountains, dodging steep ravines and enduring freak weather conditions. You go through Morgantown and end up Charleston, two of the most interesting towns in the state. It would be better if it were longer (that's what she said), but 79 makes life easier going from the shores of bitterly cold Lake Erie, to the very heart of gorgeous WV. I have 79 problems but this interstate isn't one. read more
