You may have noticed a few new authors....

I've really enjoyed the blog over the past couple of years. Of course there have been posting frenzies and droughts...but I try to keep it as current as possible. Hopefully, you have enjoyed the roadtrips and oddities, news stories and opinions (even when there is internal disagreement) and at times even commented.

So to add to the roadtrips and oddities, news stories and opinions, I've invited a few new folks to participate in adding their own input to the blog. So, here's the somewhat formal introduction.

Bob Malme - Although he has yet to post, he's added to the blog in numerous comments. Bob adds a strong research background and insight on various projects throughout North Carolina (as if the blog has enough NC material as it is :-p), but also hails originally from New England.

Charles Slater - His unique viewpoint of transportation and of the roadgeeking hobby is well known. He's already added his own opinions to the blog and along with Doug has expanded our New York coverage.

Jeff Kitsko - The first source of Pennsylvania Highways and webmaster of the site of the same name, Jeff won't be afraid of giving his own opinion.

Corey Dukes - He blogs the Delmarva. And just to torment Jeff, he has his own opinions of Pennsylvania.

Billy Riddle - Hails from Tennessee and along with news from the Mid-South, he'll add a bit of good humor too.

Of course, there Doug Kerr who has pretty much been to every nook and cranny of New York (and is on his way to doing the same in PA and New England) and Brian LeBlanc (he's building a house so give him a break!) who have been part of the blog for nearly a year.

What else may be different? You'll see more back and forth conversations in the blog and definitely different opinions on various issues. But that's what we want to do, present our own personal view and feelings of transportation issues and insights on the roadgeeking hobby.

Oh I don't want to forget, if you have your own roadblog and I haven't added it to the list of roadblogs. Let me know, so I can add ya.
