We have made it to Vermont, making it 47 of the continental 48 states. Maine is still out there just waiting for us. On the way to our pick up we were guided by Tom (gps) and brought to a ferry crossing to get from New York to Vermont. We were a little skeptical but willing to give it a try. We paid our fare and drove onto the ferry along with about a dozen cars. We happened to make it to the last crossing of the day. The ride was smooth, water like glass and the sun was setting behind us. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!! We didn't come back the same way. Darn!
In my last blog I mentioned how busy we were the previous week. I did some calculations and discovered we had logged over 6,000 miles in one week. No wonder we were so exhausted. This week was a little slower but not much. We are now spending the weekend in Bordentown, New Jersey. We do have a load out of Philadelphia Monday morning that will bring us to Columbus, Ohio.
I don't know about you but I am tired of all the heat. No matter where we go, north-south-east-west there is nothing but hot, hot, hot! We had a nasty thunderstorm yesterday afternoon that made no difference in themperature or humidity. The wind did a little rock-n-roll number with the truck which was a welcome to our naptime since we had been driving all night before.
P.S. The rest areas in Vermont shut down after dark and don't open until after sun up. We learned that lesson the hard way. Fortunately we found a small 24 hr. truck stop not too long after and spent the night there. Until next time . . . . . . . . .
