Nark, taking the most direct route on the Atlantic City Expressway, revealed his secret hack — what he calls the Triple Loop — to get on the Garden State Parkway. He skips the often backed-up southbound exit to the Parkway, taking the Parkway northbound ramp instead. Then he immediately gets back onto the AC Expressway again, headed west, before looping around a third time to get on the Parkway going south.
I love the beauty of his hack, especially because it reminds me of my dad. He loved math and order and logic. He liked driving and especially appreciated our interstate highway system and the way what is officially known as thewas organized. Odd-numbered interstates run north–south with numbers increasing from west to east, like I-95 here, while even numbered ones run east–west with numbers increasing from south to north .
When I learned to drive, my dad took me on an interstate cloverleaf and had me “circle” it, doing what Nark might call a “Quadruple Loop.” So after driving all four of the “leaves” in the “clover,” I ended up in the same spot as when I started. Then he had me do it again.
