My new, final resting place

Unbelievable. Apparently, drivers going northbound out of Florida into the South Carolina Visitor Center cannot read signs.

There are two very clear white signs with arrows pointing in two different directions: "Cars" go this way and "All other vehicles" go this way. Very clear.

Then, after a bit, there are two more clear signs with arrows, one pointing busses to the left and all other vehicles to the right.

Pretty clear, right? I thought so as I turned right...

Well, guess what fills up the few remaining 70' TRUCK parking spots? Trucks? No. Busses, then? No way (bus drivers have to read to take the test, too.) So how about pickups pulling a trailer? No such luck.

Cars fill the spots. POV's. 4-wheelers. Lots of 'em, not pulling anything.

Probably 50 of them parked there, right where I would have parked...IF A SPOT WASN'T ALREADY FILLED WITH A CAR! And not one of them was moving back to the car parking area. Not. One.

No wonder we get so frustrated at them. What idiots.

 

The reason I have 14 or 18 wheels!

 

Sitting in the Hook near Columbus for the weekend. Picking up a load on Monday enroute Northern Wisconsin, a good run.

 

Ah, but it's central Ohio to far northeastern Wisconsin. Across the river from Ironwood, Michigan, in the Michigan UP.

 

Tru dat...where they sort of speak English. I spent a lot of time in Ironwood when I was with the FAA. There's a large FedEx air cargo hauler based there. It's a VERY long drive from Grand Rapids up the eastern side of Lake Michigan, I can tell you that. My trip will take me up the western side.
