Hubby 2 Lubby ~ First Day On the Road

I heard from Neil at around 7:30 PM.

He and 'Miah were in Pennsylvania, about 2 1/2 hours away from the Ohio border. With sharing driving responsibilities, they were making good time.

In addition to exchanging turns driving, the 2 fellows were also exchanging turns in listening to each other's preference in music.

It turns out that chaining the axle to the trailer was a good idea, for while Neil and 'Miah were in New York, the webbing slipped off both front tires. If it weren't for the chain wrapped around the axle, it would have been "Bye, bye, Camry."

Pulling into a service station to gas up, Neil and 'Miah secured the front wheels, this time making sure that the webbing would stay put. And it did through the rest of new York, New Jersey, and most of Pennsylvania. I suppose that it will stay put all the way to Texas.

With the great time that the guys were making on the road, there is a chance that they may arrive in Lubbock in 3 or 4 days instead of 5.

That would be great.

That would give Neil and 'Miah enough time to secure a roof over their heads, unload the truck at a self-storage facility, and return the truck to the rental place.

And with that, the 2 fellows may have some time to chill and take in the sights.

Hey! 'Miah may even get a chance to check out some pretty girls at Texas Tech! LOL
