Today's post theme is Cops and Capsizing..
We only needed 2 tanks of gas for today, but yet saw at least a 1/2 dozen police writing tickets, and two rather marvelous exhibition of highway safety devices in use.
While we had a very low traffic/tolls way point plotted, the wife diverted us in PA to see a horse van manufacturer. We talked shop with him for about 45 mins before hitting the road. On the way back to the freeway, we saw this massive dust plume wafting into the air. At first glance, it would have probably appeared to be a construction zone. But then, two big rigs stopped and drivers started running over to the gnarled up guard rail. I don't know what/who jumped the guard rail, but it appeared to have enough attention that we didn't stop.
Then on the Maryland beltway, traffic on both sides slowed down. Turns out someone lost a rather expensive, rootbeer colored, speed boat and trailer. It mashed through the guard rail, and skidded to a halt before crossing oncoming traffic.
Needless to say, glad to be home in one piece and no confrontations with the "po-po".
I will probably update yesterday's post with photos, and then one more post on things to do better/different and general reflections later.
