    My next plan is a little more ambitious, up 81 in PA about 2/3rds of the way between Harrisburg and Hazleton. I’ll definitely have the windshield on it for that much freeway though.

    When at LS i had a guy i used alot do that, called and told me load just canceled.
    Told him they’d just finished loading me.
    Was in greensboro nc going to home depot, lake wales florida, they’d just sealed it, and was doing paperwork.

    He told me to hang on, then called back about 15 minutes later and said roll with it.
    I dunno if he’d found another, cheaper or something but the shipper didn’t know what was going on when i was standing there and got the load canceled info.

    How far is that ? Most miles I ever rode in a day was around 425. Once in 1984, austin to alpine tx. And a couple decades later austin to lost maples state park.

    I was so cold......I would stop, and couldn't stand up strait, or really keep my balance.

    People were pulling their children back.
