Cape Cod Trip - Day 1
Left Norfolk at 1400 - had to work late... Used US-60 to get over to US-13. Took Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Wanted to stop and take picture, but cops were following me and there was really nowhere to turn off - too bad. Listened to Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings on the radio. Later found a place to stop (at the north end of the bridge) - met some guys who work down the street from me. Made it to Bridgeville, DE, by 1730. Continued on US-13 until I got on I-95 - ended up on the West side of the Delaware River (not what I originally planned). Found myself in Philadelphia - enjoyed that (saw some old Navy ships in the river). Eventually crossed the river near Trenton and found US-1. Lots of traffic, so took some back roads until I was on the Garden State Parkway - much faster. Hit I-80 and had more traffic - I-95 was better - I actually thought I was in the clear when I crossed the George Washington Bridge in NYC... Instead, hit a huge jam at the Connecticut border. Finally in Niantic, CT (2345). Took I-95 to Providence, then switched to I-195. Later on I-495 and MA-25. Crossed Cape Cod Canal at Bourne Bridge and drove north to Sagamore Bridge on Falmouth side. US-6 to Willow Street - home at 0230...
