Waiting

We're sitting at a TA Travel Center between Baltimore and Wilmington, Delaware waiting for our next assignment; we're keeping our fingers crossed that we get something out of here before the weekend.

We've been on two loads since we left Springfield. As soon as I finished up at the DMV on Wednesday, they had has take over a load headed for Yorktown, Indiana (just north of Indianapolis), which delivered at midnight that night.

No sooner did we drop that load off that they gave us another assignment; a high value, "top secret" load going from Plainfield, IN to New Castle, Delaware which is why we couldn't say anything about it until now.

We drove through West Virginia, southern Pennsylanvia, and Maryland. It was interesting to see the "hollers" of Appalachia in person. The landscape changed dramatically around Zanesville, Ohio continuing through Wheeling, West Virginia, going from relatively flat farmland to lots of little hills and valleys filled with small houses perched along the hillsides and winding down into the river valleys.

Driving across south central Pennsylvania, we think we came across the residents that Barack had characterized as "clinging to their guns and religions." Not sure if all the McCain signs went up before or after Barack's comment, but they're certainly out there now! We even drove by a small country gas station/market with a sign outside announcing "VP debate viewing party. Free eats." These folks are obviously engaged in the election.

We'll let everybody know where we're heading next as soon as we know!
