June 25th Trip change, made it all the way to Moody

Got an early start from the Ritz's, at about 0715-  Stopped in at the truck wash and got both the coach and the car done-  then headed up the road.  Along the way, I kept changing my mind about routing- fearing construction and traffic-  well, we guessed almost right.....

Instead of running up I-81 to Scranton, then up to Albany and over, we decided to run I-78 at Allentown, then I-278, over the Tappan Zee Bridge, then over to I-95, up to I-495, then on in to Moody.  


Departure weather:

Wound up looking like this:

Total Miles:  561

Max speed:  73

Average moving speed:  52 mph

Overall average:  45 mph

Total trip time:  12:34

Moving:  10:50

Stopped:  1:43   

8.3 mpg average

66 gallons used.  

For the trip, no accidents, but from I-95 in Conn. on, the trip was essentially a 250 mile moving parking lot-  lots of construction and volume delays, not for any reason we could see-  very exasperating, we would speed up, go 65, then slow down to 5-20 mph for 15 miles.  

We got into Moody, and they were holding us a spot in the back, which was nice, as well as unexpected-  we are in 164.  Saw Trish and Shawn, they are fine-  Also saw Lisa and Bernie- and Chris-  all good as well.  

Tomorrow will be a rest day-  probably laundry as well.
