Friday, July 7, 2017

Got started a half hour before sunrise this morning.  The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge that goes over the Hudson River in New York only allows oversize loads across at 10:30 am and 2 pm Monday thru Friday.  No weekend crossings.  On top of that they charge $100 PLUS the bridge toll to cross it.  I was unable to make the 2 pm crossing today so I can't cross until Monday.  How STUPID!!!!  More ridiculous government restrictions!!!!  Since I was two hours short of making it I decided to stop at the Petro truck stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania for the night.  Tomorrow morning I'll go the rest of the way to the TA truck stop close to the bridge for the rest of the weekend.
