An easy day. Left Oakwood, Illinois a half hour before sunrise. Met my escort car at the Indiana line. On the Interstate highways he is behind me but on 2 lane roads he is in front. On the east side of Indianapolis I-70 is being re-made. The state routes over sized loads around it.
Aside from that little detour, smooth sailing all the way to the Ohio line. Don't need an escort car in Ohio so he dropped off. Ohio is a pain in the butt with over sized loads. More STUPID regulations!!! If it is not specifically stated on the permit, you can't get off the route. Not even to stop for food, fuel, repairs, nothing. They will allow you to drop the trailer at a rest area or weigh station, but that's all. I can't go into West Virginia without an escort car so I dropped the trailer at the weigh station (glad it was closed) just west of Cambridge, OH.
Went to an Econo Lodge hotel in Cambridge for the rest of the weekend.
