Comfort Suites, Scranton, PA - So. This is it. Day one done. I wish I could tell you we had some marvelous adventures already, but. . . No. We actually got on the road earlier than expected, made Cheshire for a pit stop with Mom, then more of the same. Asphalt. Jersey barriers. Pokey drivers blithely cruising along below the speed limit in the left lane mucking up an otherwise suitable interstate highway system. Trucks. Kids eating goldfish crackers and Swedish fish (I sense a fish theme emerging).
Ah, then the mountains of northwestern Pennsylvania and clouds as black as the coal they mine in the opposite corner of the state. Sheesh! Holy crap! I hadn't driven through rain pouring that hard since I spent two weeks in southern Missouri back in the early '90s. Heavy weather.
But we made it into Scranton without incident. Got our room (which we'd reserved from the road) and that was basically it. If you keep coming back to read blog entries this lame, I'll never hear the end of it.

Damn you guys are quick. Great posts for the end of day 1. Sure you'll bang out some quality miles in day 2. Here's to good weather on the "somewhat" open roads. Don't fret they open up out west. Looking forward to following along.
