THE SEEMLESS NEVER ENDING STORY

WELL AFTER A FEW DAYS OF RUNNING ON THE EAST COAST I HAD GOTTEN TO MY HOME TIME AND WAS EXCITED TO GET HOME FOR A FEW DAYS. SO STILL STOKED ABOUT MY NEW FOUND LOVE OF THE ROAD I HAD SOME STORIES TO TELL WHEN I GOT HOME SO ME AND THE GUYS WERE OFF TO THE LOCAL HANG OUT FOR A FEW BEERS AND LOTS OS B/S.

WELL MONDAY ROLLED AROUND AGAIN AND LIKE THE WEEK BEFORE I WAS OFF TO EXPLORE NEW TERRITORIES. GOT MY LOAD GOING TO YOU GUESSED IT UP THE EAST COAST THRU MARYLAND AND WINDING UP IN PA. HAVING TWO DROPS IN PA I HAD TO GO FROM SOME LIL TOWN IN SOUTH PA.TO SOME NOT SO LIL TOWN IN PA I THINK IT WAS HARRISBURG? BUT CANT REMEMBER, ALL I DO REMEMBER IS THE HELL I PAID FOR GOING THRU GETTYSBURG!!!

OMG I SEEN A ROAD ON THE TRUCKERS MAP BOOK THAT LOOKED LIKE A GOOD ROUTE FOR ME TO GO SO I TOOK OFF I BELIEVE IT WAS..... AHHH HELL I DONT REMEMBER THE RD NUMBER BUT IT WENT RIGHT THRU THE MIDDLE OF GETTYSBURG! NOW BEING FROM THE SOUTH I WAS EXCITED TO FINALLY GET TO SEE THE FAMOUS TOWN OF WHICH A MAJOR CIVIL WAR BATTLE HAD TAKEN PLACE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE GREAT, WELL I TRAVELED DOWN THIS ROAD FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE A LONG WHILE UNTIL I FINALLY SEEN THE SIGN SAYING GETTYSBURG.

AS I GOT CLOSER I SAW A SIGN SAYING NO JAKE BRAKES IN THE TOWN LIMITS OF GETTYSBURG SO I THOUGHT OK NO PROBLEM,AND TURNED THEM OFF. WELL HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM BEGAN.....I CAME TO A RED LIGHT THAT FOR ME BEING IN A LARGE CAR WITH A 53X102 TRAILER THE ONLY DIRECTION I COULD GO IS RIGHT THRU THE MIDDLE OF DOWN TOWN GETTYSBURG WHICH STILL SEEMED LIKE NO PROBLEM TILL I TOPPED THE HILL AND SEEN "THE SIGN" THAT STATED NO TRAILERS LARGER THAN A 48X96!!

ALL THE BUILDINGS IN GETTYSBURG ARE BUILT ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH PARKING IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING IN THE ROAD,SO I HAVE CARS ON THE LEFT OF ME AND CARS ON THE RIGHT OF ME AND JUST THIS LITTLE STRIP ON ROAD BETWEEN THEM. HMMMM? I THOUGHT NOW WHAT, AH I KNOW ILL JUST RIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET THIS WORKED WELL TILL TRAFFIC STARTED COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!! YEAH CAN WE SAY TIGHT??!!!!

THAT WAS TIGHTER THAN A FISHES RECTUM AND THOSE ARE WATER TIGHT!! SLOWLY MAKING MY WAY DOWN THE STREETS OF GETTYSBURG BARELY MISSING THE CARS I WAS MEETING AND THE CARS THAT WERE PARKED ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD,I MEAN I HAD JUST INCHES BETWEEN ME AND A MAJOR FINANCIAL TRIP TO THE BODY SHOP FOR ME AND QUITE A FEW OTHERS,I THINK I SMOKED LIKE A HALF OF A PACK OF CIGARETTES TRYING TO MAKE THIS SHORT TRIP THRU TOWN.

WELL I FINALLY MADE IT THRU THE TOWN OF GETTYSBURG NOT GETTING TO SEE AS MUCH OF IT AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED BUT I MADE IT UN-SCARRED SO I WAS HAPPY.SO AS I TRAVELED DOWN THIS ROAD,I WISH I KNEW THE NUMBER CAUSE IM SURE ALOT OF YOU WOULD KNOW IT,I WAS THINKING HOW LUCKY I WAS TO HAVE NAVIGATED MY WAY THRU THAT!!

WELL I SEE ON MY MAP I HAVE ONE MORE TURN TO MAKE IN ANOTHER LIL TOWN AND I WOULD HAVE A STRAIGHT SHOT TO MY DESTINATION, EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING GOOD BEAUTIFUL FARM LAND AND OPEN ROAD THEN I GET TO THE POINT MY ROAD MADE A 90DEGREE TURN AT A COURT HOUSE SQUARE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY ALL THESE ROADS AROUND THE COURT HOUSE WERE INFUSED TO ONE ANOTHER AND I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS A THREE LANES TO MY LEFT WHICH WAS A GOOD THING, THERE WAS A SOUTH BOUND LANE GOING STRAIGHT THRU,A LEFT TURN LANE AND THEN MY LANE GOING NORTH. ALL WAS GREAT TILL SOME JACK ASS PULLS UP IN A MUSTANG IN THE TURN LANE TO THE LEFT OF ME.

WELL MY LIGHT CHANGED SO I STARTED MY TURN AS I PROCEEDED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION I SEEN I WAS NOT GONNA MAKE IT SO I TURNED MY TRUCK UP ONTO THE SIDE WALK(dont worry no one was on it) MADE ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THE TRUCK BEFORE I HAD TO TURN IT BACK INTO THE ROAD TO MISS A STREET LIGHT AND A BENCH!! NEEDLESS TO SAY THE TRAILER WAS NOT MISSING THE MUSTANG I HAD MENTIONED BEFORE SO.....(tune in tomorrow for the next part)
