"Slingshot4ever" has it right. Also, being a coach who has ridden buses down the 175-23 route to Columbus, I can attest to this as one of the most boring routes of all time. Of course, you have to understand that I have been this way literally hundreds of times over 42 years in the coaching business. There is a brief moment of excitement as you approach Waldo, but otherwise, it's very monotonous. Driving yourself doesn't help much either.
Agree 100%. I made the drive from Newark to BG every other weekend for 2 years. As soon as you're leaving Delaware, you're like "oh shit, naptime" lol. I mean honestly, the most exciting thing along 23 is Marion, and if that's all we have, that sucks! You feel like you drive through one big cornfield for 2 hours, that you're never going to get there, and pass 1049588737636532 highway patrol cars on the way there. There were several weekends I decided not to drive home from BG, not because I didn't want to go home, but because I didn't want to endure that drive twice in one weekend lol.
