I have always found a great fondness for tunnels. Between the lighting, tiled (East) rock (West) walls, and the general idea of driving through something as massive as a mountain, just always seems to make me feel like I am in a Rock video. But today, blew my mind. In an attempt to find a shopping location with 1. A Target 2. A Sears and 3. A Bed Bath and Beyond (Gift cards unused after many years of having none of these in Gallup), I hit the jackpot with Whitemarsh, MD.
My Google navigation took me on a pretty interesting route to get there. I drove through pretty much the entire city East to West. So, when I noticed a sign for I-95 right by the mall, I thought... stupid Google. I live right off of I-95. But a'las... I have my navigation set to avoid tolls and getting on I-95 took me through one of the craziest F'ing things I've ever seen. I drove directly under the ocean.
From the photo above, you can see that it looks like the freeway disappears. Well, in fact, it takes a few mile jaunt under the Baltimore harbor, dropping you off about 2 miles from my house. There were a few moments of slight claustrophobia, and, to the dismay of all the drivers directed to stay in their lane of origin, I held an exact and steady 55 mph. All this for the bargain price of $2. I need to figure out how to get an EZ-Pass.
