Day 251, September 30, 2015.  Glad Springs, VA; Hazeltownship, PA;

Up at 7 and heading to Pennsylvania.   Lots of rain yesterday and still drizzling this morning.   Hope it clears up soon.   We have a truck load of Mars Candy such as Kit Kats and Twix.  Taking it to Mars distribution center in Hazeltownship, PA.   The smell at that place yesterday was amazing.   Smelled like caramel, peanuts and chocolate.  Much better than the meat places we have been too. 

Made it to our stop without any problems other than rain all the way.   Just drizzling nasty stuff.  It’s currently 55 degrees.   Definitely feels like fall now.

You pass some strange things on the road. The flat beds carry all kinds of stuff.  One day we saw a flat bed some contraption on the back I have no idea what it was but it had 4 black SUV’s and a police escort.  Glad they were going the opposite way we were and we weren’t following them.  Today, however, there were two trucks hauling army tanks.  They were pretty used and banged up.   Still weird going down the road and having that thing pointing at you. 

   
   
Ok. This doesn’t have anything to do with the blog but was so funny I have to put it in.  This is how I feel about exercising too.  Haha 

 

Our load out won’t be ready until 8 am so we decided to go to a hotel close by.  Get out of the truck a while.   Sleep in a real bed without being squished.  

DG:  I thought the tanks on trailers were a good deterrent to tailgaters. 

Staying at a Residence Inn by Mariott. Very nice. And not much more than some of the not as nice places we have stayed. 

In the night stand by the bed I find the Bible and The Book of Mormon in the top drawer and I find myself surprised there is not a copy of the Koran in the drawer beside the other two books. And that thought disturbed me. What’s coming?  

Tomorrow we go to Fredricksburg, VA. They are almost out of candy so we gotta get there. 

That’s all I got. God bless.
