8:30 Still sitting in the hotel room. Load was supposed to be ready at 8 am but still not ready.   Greg called at 7:30 and 8:30 and still a no go.  We’ll wait here as long as we can.   No since sitting in the truck until we have to.  

10:30.  Load is ready.  Heading to Fredericksburg, VA.  It’s 49 degrees here so Greg and Precious are ready to go.  

Stuck in traffic.  GPS took us through the DC loop for some crazy reason instead of further out and down.   GPS says 2 hours 11 minutes to go 45 miles because of the speed and delays.  I could not do this every day.  

DG:  For real. Creep, stop, creep some more, get close to the speed limit, stop, creep, rest area. Ahhhh!  

Wondering where we were going to spend the night as the apps we had available showed no truck stop close to our stop, but a rest area was close by.  The decision was made to go to the stop and reconnoiter the situation since we had plenty of time. Surprised to find, when we got there, that we had been here before. In fact this is the place where, when we stayed at the Super 8 motel close by, Annie woke up the next morning with some mysterious bug bites. 

Needless to say, tonight we will be sleeping in the truck.  

God bless.
