    One shipper was NE of Fallston Maryland, near the junction of Sunrise. (#### is that little spot still there?) anyhow.. I was warned in advance it's going to be a drive just needed to follow directions. I told dispatch I grew up running these roads as a kid I should know or have a idea where it's going. Just worried if two truss bridges were replaced by cement ones by now.

    First it's interstate. Then US 1 4 lanes divided. Then a nice little 2 lane state easily fit a semi. (And 53...) Now the trick came when the next left took it onto a paved unpainted path. Ok fine no problem.

    The directions belabored the point that I needed to stop at the third tree to the left and turn just past it no matter what I saw in the windshield.

    one, two and twee. #####... nothing but bush. Oh wait there is a little dirt track with water on it. Not sure if it will hold but orders are orders.

    I find the nursery.

    Docking? Theoratical, I had to push physically the trailer against and then through two very thick bushes until the yelling started to stop.

    That FFE truck looked like it was consumed by Nature in some sort of grotesque disney film. They gave me a thousand mountain style assurances that alls well. No trouble. Here have some of this...

    Satellite? Forget it. Cell? Nope you are back into 1950 for this round.
