Ride I didn't need

Last weekend we planned to spend Friday and Saturday night on the Skyline Drive in Va. We had plans to hike a few easy trails, have a picnic lunch and dinner in one of the lodges. Well, we started out late Friday afternoon, crossed the Delaware Bridge got on I 95S for about 5 miles and the car stopped- died- dead- no movement, no lights, no anything. We were able to get the car to the shoulder, called the police, then waited, and waited and waaaaaiiiitttteeedddd, for three hours. Finally a trooper arrived, very nice young man, and waited again for the tow truck. So, instead of a night in the mountains we had a lovely view of the local Toys A-Us from our window in a Courtyard Hotel in Christina, DE. Then, the ride I didn't need. coming home in the cab of a flatbed truck. Really fun, really loud, really hot and really expensive.
So no photos of the Blue Ridge Mountains, bear, deer or anything. A little disappointing.

This weekend I worked, very quiet and not quite so expensive.
