We left at sunrise this morning. Had great weather today. Another good day on the road. Except for one area. We were on US-60 in Versailles, Kentucky when our permit route was closed. They were rebuilding the railroad crossing and had the entire road closed. I pulled to the side of the road and stated making phone calls. First one was to Daily, like we are supposed to do. The were no help. Next was to the local police. They were no help. Then four different state police phone numbers. They were no help either. Finally got through to the state permit office. They were not aware of the road closing. After being put on hold a few times, then several returned phone calls they were finally able to give me a way out and back to where we needed to be. Next problem was to get turned around. Had to pull forward to an intersection then back in on my blind side (although both sides are blind with something that big) then pull back out the correct direction. That was fun. It's a good thing I can back up. My two escort cars stopped traffic while I did that. We made our way around Lexington and back to my permit route. From then on it was uneventful. Stopped for the night at the Jane Lew Truck Stop in Jane Lew, West Virginia. Sometime during the day the access door on my APU fell off. Have no idea when or where. Oh well, just one more thing to fix when I get to Carlisle.
