Fort Wayne to Carlisle (11-12 hours straight through).
Greensboro to Fort Wayne in the moving truck was equal time wise. I can do that same trip in the Rabbit in 9 hours flat.

Haha... not ours... we got up in the morning...
we got up in the morning, I went off one way down the road at one of the parks to take a ****... a MNR (ministry of natural resources) truck passed me... I didn't think anything of it.
I come back a few minutes later... the gf had my camera out, and the ministry truck was parked blocking the road. Turns out a bear had been wandering around... stopped in the campsite beside ours, and started snacking on their breakfast! We just hadn't started cooking ours yet!
That park was really cool though... we had our own private waterfront campsite... with our own stairs down to the water. (as seen in the photos)
One of the other parks we stayed at... we were hassled all evening by this crazy squirrel that was trying to steal our food.
