Road Trip
Monday night I drove up to Syracuse, NY to perform an equipment inspection and some testing for work at a manufacturer's shop. I took 'SUBYDOO' ('97 SVX LSi) and left my house at 3:15 AM. I arrived at the shop at 7:45 AM. The route is I-95N to The Blue Route north (I-476), then north on the PA Turnpike, northeast extentsion , and finally I-81N into Syracuse.
I have done this drive many times. It is quite interesting because the route goes thru the Poccono Mountains and you never know what kind of weather conditions await you. As an example, I went from bright moonlight to whiteout conditions just by cresting a mountain. I like to drive at night because the roads are generally empty (just the truckers and me) and the cops are few. Penn DOT does a much poorer job of keeping the roads clear of snow & ice then NY state (or even Deleware). The funniest thing was seeing a Hummer stuck in the snow on the center median strip on I-81 just north of Cortland, NY about 7:00 AM. The median strip is a wide swale and the Hummer couldn't climb out. Some of the guy's in the shop saw it and we joked about it during the tests. The drive home was uneventful. I left Syracuse at 1:30 PM and pulled into the garage at 6:00 PM. I made one stop on the way home. There is a place just off I-81 in Lenox, PA. It is called Bingham's Family Restaurant. They make the greatest 'homemade' pies. I picked up a blueberry for Rosie and an apple for me. If any of you are in the area, I suggest that you stop for a 'slice'. I have previosly driven other makes of cars on this trip, but I prefer the SVX over all of them. Well I'll sign off now. I think I'll have a cup of coffee and a piece of apple pie. ![]()

I am glad it was uneventful and you had a good drive. It is always fun to go on any kind of a road trip.
