Friday dawned sunny and windy in beautiful Ocean City, elevation 0. It was 7am on the boardwalk when I thought it best to take a photo of home to remember what it's like on low, flat land.
As of this afternoon, Fred efficiently packed the car. Even sardines wouldn't fit in the back. But for safety's sake, there is plenty of visibility through the rear window. I guess if we need to, we can always open the sleeping bags and stretch out over the rest of the stuff.
We departed Ocean City about 7pm with yours truly driving the first leg. We made it all the way to 9th & West before our first controversy. Fred wanted me to zip through the left turn - I had a green arrow, but there was a bike in the way. We managed to weather his backseat driving and made it to the Garden State Parkway without any more glitches.
The Schuykill and beyond was what you would expect, but we made it to the PA Turnpike, and sailed on through. Fred was busy checking out our destination on the web, and now feels better about knowing where we're going. He did a great job making sure we can stay online through the trip, as long as we have cell phone coverage.
Our waistlines will not be suffering for the duration. By 9pm we were foraging for those salty, tasty treats to fuel the driving. Pretzels, beef jerky and trail mix - yum!
There are just a couple of disadvantages to our drive, right now the most pressing is that the seats can't recline, so I guess we sleep sitting up. Anyone care to recommend a good chiropractor?
Next stop, Wheeling, WV then on to Columbus, OH (a.k.a purgatory).
