We were through Hartford this morning before six o'clock which is a good way to do it, The streets that you drive to get through that city look like a pile of spaghetti. You have to stay in your lane and hope for the best and today in light traffic it was fine. Today was one of those multi state days. We were driving in in parts of Connecticuit, NY, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Viryinia and Virginia. Bits and pieces.
While driving through Penn, Mike struck a long piece of metal that he tried in vain to avoid. It destroyed the tire and bent the rim but through a combinaltion of good events, we were able to get the tire changed in the company of a state trooper who directed the pounding traffic way from us. Then on his advice, we made it to a tire dealer who sold us a pair of new tires and was able to repair the rim. Had he not been able to do that, we would still be somewhere waiting for one to arrive from somewhere. This day could have been a lot worse.
Wilma and Lowell stayed at the same hotel as we did so we got caught up and had a light supper together together. They are looking forward to arriving at their destination on Saturday as we are.
Glad you two were not hurt.
