Norfolk, Va to Harrisburg, Pa
Posted 09-29-2009 at 05:38 PM by Mary Robinson
Well, we've made it to Harrisburg, Pa, after a stop in Norfolk, Va, next we are heading for New York City to pick up the New York Philharmonic so we can take it to the Chicago Airport. (I know they have an airport or two in New York
). Then it's down to Dallas to pick up the Brazilian Orchestra. We'll be coming to a town near you
, maybe. No rest for the wicked....They pulled us into the weigh station today, where they weigh the tractor-trailers to make sure they are not overweight, there are limits. One must be under 80,000 lbs. They were letting a lot of the trucks with trailers go, and weighed us instead, we had no trailer (we were, what is called Bobtail, which normally weighs between 18,000 and 25,000 lbs, depending on the size, make and model), maybe they were thinking our two puppies had consumed 60,000 lbs worth of dogfood? In the meantime, I actually did manage to get out of the truck for about 15-20 min and grab some quick multi-exposures in Norfolk. I also broke the microwave trying to make mashed potatoes and so we had to run off and find a Walmart (I forgot to bring my camera phone, so I didn't get any shots for the Walmart People Wall, sorry
).
