We hauled there and back with my big new toy hauler on my one ton truck. It's like driving a tractor trailer, which I love because that's what I do and what I know. What an amazing rig, I've never had that truck fully laden before this. It's amazing how it pulls and drives. We cruised on the flats at 75. Hill ascension was slow but faster than the tractor trailers. My truck makes enough power to melt the turbo so speed is actually determined by the EGT gauge if any of you can understand that. I need a bigger exhaust.
Craig and I pulled off in Pennsylvania somewhere for fuel and our big food stockup. It just so happened to be at an exit with a Dunkin Donuts that I got the number of a girl from in 2012. She no longer works there. We asked Craig's phone where the store was and it brought us to some bizarre place, "JR's Food Warehouse" or something. We got fuel across the street and decided we weren't food shopping there. So we asked Craig's phone where the next grocery store was and it wanted us to go to Walmart up the street. We came to a bridge that was 12' 6" or something and I knew it was close, so Craig jumped out to put an eyeball on it. It was too close, so we'd have to back up a quarter mile or so, which is no problem for me. However, people are so mind numbingly stupid these days that they would sit and watch their fate come for them at a snail's pace and not even flinch as it hit them at 10mph. I had to back the trailer out, there was no choice, but whenever a car would come up behind me they would drive straight for the trailer and stop instead of going around. I had the hazard lights on obviously, but I can't even remember how many times I had to stop and wait for people to figure out that I wasn't going forward. I got spun around and a nice local lady had us follow her on a detour around the bridge.
On the way home we passed BigDaddyVW and he kept up for a bit but then peeled off. Not long after that we hit that ridiculous dead stop traffic that I'm sure some of you got to experience. Luckily we had a freezer full of ice cream so Craig and I were able to pull through OK. We drove straight through both ways this year, first time ever for that. It takes us about 18 hours give or take.
