August 22nd The trip from Hell!

Originally thought we would leave a 5 am- Did not leave until 0730.  Should have been an omen- but wait, there's more!



Pretty much a no brainer until we got past Wytheville on I-81-  There was apparently a major 4 car /semi smashup that literally closed the interstate down for at least 3 hours.  We finally figured out a work around, WRONG.  So did everyone else, it seemed.   Bottom line, we pulled into our hotel at 1045.  Almost 14 hours trip!  But wait, there's more.  When we got to our room, it was worse than filthy.  the bathroom was gross...  so we had to change rooms.  Couldn't find any working electrical outlets, the TV never did work.  Bette will see the manager in the morning.  

Well, at least we're closer to Maine!! 

Trip stats:  

607.7 miles for the day
Max speed 84  Bette!
Total time: 13:52

All about leaving the same day as all the thousands upon thousands, CraZy, North Easterners that invaded North & South Carolina for the Eclipse. Can't wait to get up there next week. Hopefully I glide right up there
