I landed safe and sound and without any real incident in Suffolk at about 11:45 this morning. The drive from Stafford wasn’t bad, but some of the back roads to get here were a little rougher than I remembered them being when I drove them in the rental car.<\/p>\n

A combination of fatigue, rum, and Applebee’s fajitas got me to bed at the unholy hour of 9PM last night, so I was up and at ’em very early. I decided to take advantage of the early hour to leave the Walmart while the lot was empty and very manoeuverable. It was too early to be hungry or even want coffee (!) so I chose to drive for a bit before stopping for breakfast. Once I got underway, I decided I wanted a Cracker Barrel breakkie.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, I hit the Cracker Barrel in Mechanicsville<\/a> at about 9AM. I knew I’d have no trouble finding parking in that area, especially so early on a Sunday morning when most stores would still be closed, so I had no qualms making the impromptu detour.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take that many pictures on this trip, but here are a few:<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My new rig sitting proudly in St Clair. Miranda looked so forlorn alone there last time!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Coming<\/a>

Coming out of a lunch break, I found this handsome fellow admiring the view.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"They<\/a>

They are called RV lanes, idiots!!! (Thanks for the RV lanes, Flying J!)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This impressive setup was plated in New Brunswick. It’s rare to see RVs plated in the Maritimes. I wish I had enough hitch rating to be able to do something like that and get a little scooter!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
