We left Connecticut on Friday and are back here again on Monday. In between we made a quick little run down to Greenville, South Carolina to pick up ‘White Christmas’ and bring it back to Hartford. I could have stayed longer down south as the weather was gorgeous and so were the trees. They were still enjoying fall down there.
We didn’t get too much sitting around time this week because the dispatchers kept finding work for us to do - little things like run this over to New Jersey or take that to New York City. We were two blocks from our destination in Manhattan to pick up some scenery from that Victoria Secrets show and were already patting ourselves on the back for a successful navigation into the city when we ended up running into the tail end of the New York City Veteran’s Day parade. Don’t you know they had the road we needed to complete our trip closed! Jorge was so good at making a few unexpected twists and turns with the help of New York City’s finest and we finally made it to our pickup location. One of the guys loading the truck that day was amazed at the size of our truck. He made a comment that it was bigger than the room he rents. Of all the places we go in this big country, I think that is the one place I’m always glad to have behind us.
We are dangerously close to New York City so I’m hoping they don’t find something for us to do down there as long as we’re up in this area. Otherwise, the next stop on our tour is St. Louis. Since we don’t have to be there until next Sunday, we should have extra time to swing thru Southern Illinois and visit my son, Danny. We just don’t get thru that way often enough. It’s time to see what he’s been up to.
Here are a few scenes from the road this week...
