Chelsea,MA

New England Produce Market.....Oh how I dislike thee......... I really truly dislike this place. It is hard to get to, tiny roads, roads that have potholes in it the size of the Grand Canyon and what seems like near impossible turns. Ok, the turns aren't that bad, but there are phone poles or electric poles on every freaking corner. And if you miss the turn like we did tonight, holy cow! Try getting turned back around. We have been here before, but it is raining and already dark so we couldn't see the sign. We ended up following Hwy 99 south and got turned around and came back north on it but it was an even harder right turn coming from that direction. But we finally made it! Now the bad news. We are about 6 hours early and they aren't open yet so after paying $25 at the gate for the priviledge of entering this decrepit facility, we are stuck here. I had sent in a message asking about my delivery time which showed 2359 hours and asked if that meant midnight or anytime today and they told me I could deliver any time today before midnight. So going off of that, we headed on in fighting with the holiday travelers headed home, with the intention of delivering this and getting a hotel for the night since we don't pick up our next load until tomorrow between 1300-1600 hours a short 42 miles away in Clinton,MA. That plan is shot to hell so I guess when we get unloaded here we will head to a service plaza or rest area and sit until tomorrow.

On a brighter note, when we came through Chicago we stopped at the Lake Forest Oasis and met Justin and his new girlfriend there. Him and Stephanie broke up. That is a long story.... But it was nice to get to see him and she seems like a really nice girl. Of course I told him we would be there at 0915 and he didn't show up until almost 1100. ARGH!!! Next time I am going to tell him to be there two hours before we will actually be there so that we don't have to wait. :) Maybe then he will make it on time.
