[Rhodes22-list] Route disaster was: Need route advice

[Lowe, Rob]

Mack (aka "the other rob")
I can relate.  Picked up my new boat on the Easter Shore this past weekend.  7 hours to get out there on Sunday.  9 hours back on Monday.  Nothing like 9 hours at 55mph pulling a boat.  I did follow a known route at least.  I81 around Roanoke at 5pm is not the Beltway, but it's no fun. Rob (the original).

Good Luck Elle

You never know until you drive.  I got home last night at 10:00 from picking
up my project Rhodes.  I should have gotten home by 7:00 but....   I just
blindly followed my GPS instead of looking (and thinking) about the route it
was taking me.  Next thing I know I'm on the Beltway at rush hour.  At one
point in the trip I traveled 9 miles in 1 hour.

It was painful!  But I made it home without a flat or a frozen trailer
bearing so ... all good in the end.

Good luck and happy hunting,

Mack
