Whew, that was close! The Ohio Turnpike between Toledo and Cleveland was closed last night when severe weather brought down some power lines that cross the turnpike - just AFTER Lori drove through.
Unfortunately, that made it a little tough for Lori to find an empty truck parking space to spend the night since all of the trucks heading east had gotten off the turnpike to wait until it re-opened. She managed to grab one of the last two spots at the second truck stop she visited in South Bend, Indiana.
Ten hours later, it was back on the road to drop off the candy bars. She's now on her way to Beardstown, IL to the Excel pork processing plant. This is one of Lori's least favorite stops (she and Tamara were there back in February); it smells, has an all dirt lot that gets muddy in the rain, and is just not an attractive place. It's a "drop and hook" load so she won't have to stay long.
The pork is headed, ironically enough, to the Piggly Wiggly distribution center just south of Birmingham, Alabama. It's due for delivery Monday morning.
