Day 13, February 9, 2015. Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

Brrrrrr. 19 degrees this morning but no snow here in Ohio. Hope Pennsylvania and New Jersey are clear. The sun is trying to peek through the clouds. That’s a good sign!

It warmed up to 31 and then back down to 21 before the afternoon was out.   We didn’t have any snow though which is great.   We had about an hour or so of icy rain but it didn’t accumulate or cause any trouble on the road.

We drove a little bit of Ohio in to Pennsylvania then all across Pennsylvania in to New Jersey.   We are right on the border of New York in Mahwah, New Jersey.   Never heard of it but it is beautiful through here.   Lots of mountains.   Would love to see this place in the summer and fall.

At least we didn’t have flat corn land today.   The hills and mountains were a nice change. I wish my pictures were better and I could really show you what this looks like but its hard to take pictures of scenery going 60 mph and the windows rolled up.

We got to our destination at about 4:30 but our appointment isn’t until 11 am tomorrow so we put in a call and hopefully they will be able to take us earlier so we don’t have to wait around.  We tried to park at a Pilot but there were only about 6 parking spots and a dozen trucks in the lot so we went across the state line in to New York and stopped at a rest area that was just 5 miles down the road.

Well, 2 hours later and we are still waiting on phone call.   Greg’s clock runs out pretty soon though which means even if they do call we can’t go.

Greg here, captain of the ship, driver, boss hog, etc., etc.  As you all know, I do not like snow.  That being said, this is still one beautiful country.  I know i won’t get to see it all before I pass on from this life, but appreciate what I have seen and am seeing and am constantly amazed and awed at the richness and vastness of this land we call home, America.  Seeing the houses and the towns as we go by makes me wonder, do they know what they have?  Do they appreciate being American?  I think so.  And I don’t think you need to know what’s going on around the world to know that this place is special.  And the sunrises.  Wow!  It had been a while since I had seen one, working the way we used to, but I don’t want to miss another one.  Every one is different and spectacular in it’s own way.  Well, in order to see another sunrise, I had better get some sleep.  Hope everyone is following along and enjoying the trip.  God Bless.

Well, 9:30.  Guess they arent going to call tonight for us to pick up the load.   We are going to head to bed in hopes they call us early tomorrow.   Forecast for tonight here is 2 to 4 inches of snow.   I sure hope we dont get it.

Goodnight everyone!

I dont know who 42 is but he is awfully proud of his truck and number.   It said 42 over the road racing.
