Title: “Welcome to New Jersey”-honking begins 

Big Rig Travels broadcast day began at 10:40 at Pilot near Bordentown, New Jersey with a trailer washout which ends up helping, by comping our parking for last night.

12:26 stopped at turnpike service area near Woodbridge Township, NJ for Road Crew meet up with Will W and Will’s Mom that drove 3 1/2 hours to meet Big Rig Steve. Will brought BRS Cheetos. 12:40 Will W waves at Blue Comet as they passed us.. 

12:52 Newark, NJ toll plaza chaos occurs. BRS said as honking starts around us, “Welcome to New Jersey“ and  “What does a beeping horn get ya?” Yes, recommend watching the playback as it is impossible to describe exactly what happens with this mess which caused us to be in wrong position for our exit, dag nabit. 

13:02 Zelda finally wakes up to help us, short time later BRS tells Zelda “Shush!” Yep, she wanted a left when we needed to go right.  

13:28 BRS stated another of our mottos, “It’s ok to get lost as long as you don’t hit nothing.”

16:39 Loaded and rolling back into the mess of Newark traffic.
