Darn Maggie!

Well, Maggie (our GPS) tried taking J onto a Parkway in NJ and not the Expressway. Bless his heart, I told him she would do that, and he remembered after he got lost in a residential area and it woke me up. :) So last night I got about 3.5 hours sleep before this happened. We had actually dropped our load in Wurtsboro,NY and were headed into NJ to pick up the next one when this happened. So I got up and together we figured out how to get back to the road we needed. Then I just stayed up until we found the drop lot to pick up the empty trailer and got to our shipper for pick-up. Then we headed down I-95 about 10 miles to the next Service Plaza and pulled in and parked for the night. I was so exhausted! So I didn't get up and get on the road until 1000 hrs this morning. I couls have got up earlier, but I figured traffic in Newark and down past DC would be horrible at 0800. It just made more sense to wait the 2 extra hours instead of spending them stuck in traffic.

Anyway, got up and was starving so we grabbed lunch at Nathan's Famous Hotdog's at the Service Plaza. SHIT! For each of us to have 2 chili cheese dogs, fries and a medium coke, it cost us $26!! WTF???? Ain't no damn hotdog worth that much! Guaranteed we won't be doing that again!

So we headed on out. Traffic was a nightmare from DC down south. I was at a crawl for about 40 miles. UGH!! Finally made it to a Pilot to get a shower and couldn't park there. That place was a mess! Only room for about 50 trucks, if that. So we went across to the Petro and there was PLENTY of parking. Probably room for 250 trucks there, minimum. Went in got something to eat and a shower and are now back on the road. We are just about to cross into North Carolina headed to Macon,Georgia. Have about 515 miles left to go.

That is about all for now. We are about to hit a Love's so I can go to the restroom. I knew better than to drink all that sweet tea at the Petro. But it was so dang good.......
