The drive up to my delivery this morning wasn't to bad, until I got onto I-279 through Pittsburgh. It is a two lane road that moved at basically a crawl for most of the time, until you got to the tunnel. Then the speed picked up a lot, until I got out the other side and found out that I needed to be three lanes to the left to not get off the interstate and continue going north. The signs to tell you this were basically right over the exits, so tossing on my blinker, and slowing way down was my only option. I am still not sure how I managed not to exit at that point. After negotiating through several more poorly marked exits and on ramps I got to the place in Indianola at 7:15 AM.
Parking there was a treat in its own right. I took the pictures after I was parked, the cars to the left of the RAV4 were not there, good thing too since I needed that space to get to the dock.
After getting unloaded I discovered how truck unfriendly the town was, and all I wanted o do was go to Denny's and eat some breakfast. I hid myself next to Target's loading dock for a while, before needing to move. I had to drive fifteen minutes West on the turnpike to find a place I could park at, a Walmart. I thought there was a truck stop here, but it is either south on SR-8 or has since been torn down for more profitable retail establishments.Now I am just playing the waiting game, hoping for that final load towards home. Someone mentioned that I was starting to sound a bit like the beginning of a Quantum Leap episode when I say it that way. I have no idea what they mean...
