Sault St Marie to Knoxville, Tennessee... non-stop

What was that like?

Used the air con vents to keep my eyes cold and open.
Sure buddy. That makes complete sense. Good on ya maaaate!

Left a 12 hour shift immediately after with a workmate to get him down to his kids in TN for an emergency. Didn't stop for fuel after we left, or to pee, or to get caffeine, just drove. I hadn't slept for a day. The cold ac on my eyeballs and lids hurt enough to keep me awake.

That shit (AC) kills my eyes. Too dry. I have tear supplement drops to do the trick. Or the spray that you just apply over closed eyelids and they’re absorbed.

I don’t produce a lot of saliva or tears. A lot of my water goes into muscle regeneration. I’m a big wave rider. Traveled big distances to surf remote locations.

I thought Australia would be an Interesting Drive around the continent

However, according to this map, there's not purely coastal route, eh?

....at some point, the road disappears in the North.

The longest drive is across the Nullarbor from Perth to Brisbane. It’s virtually a straight line for a good part of the way, which makes it dangerous. A sleep-maker road! I’ll send pics.
