    I wouldn't have missed it for the world but going out to Scotty's GTG but just in tolls cost us $81.40 total. :headbang::headbang::headbang:

    And the wife wonders why I said to set the GPS to "avoid tolls"...it would have only saved us 15 minutes on the way there, and about 40 on the way home...more scenic off the "beaten path" too...but I imagine avoiding toll roads would have cost you guys a lot more time/miles than it did us

    I learned my lesson back in 2008 when it comes to PA toll roads...I went over to Philly to pick up a truck I bought and we just took the "fastest route"...I wasn't worried about the tolls because I was used to OH and WV turnpike fees which at the time was just a few bucks to cross the state (WV at the time was $3.75, end to end (car) somehow along the way I figured out that PA tolls were much higher, especially pulling a trailer! It would have added a bunch of time to get off the TP anywhere near Philly, so I waited until closer to Pittsburgh, still cost me almost $100, and again, this was in '08! I almost :faint:

    You all should try it with an 18 wheeler, over $200 one way across PA.

    I think we avoided the tolls in PA, but I know we hit a couple in NY...:confused::confused:
    Haven't gotten the bill in the mail yet, one we went maybe a mile down that road for a potty break...:headbang::headbang:...only to turn around and get back on the original road...:picard::picard:

    Speaking of weight forward, I haven't ridden my unicycle in years. In fact, I'm not even sure where it is or what happened to it. Lost track of it while I was in the Army.
    I used to put my Harley leathers on and ride it down to the corner drug store to pick up cigs and a six pack on occasion just to see the looks on peoples' faces. I was a long hair Harley rider back in those days... LOL Whole nuther lifetime ago... Ahhh! The memories of our youth... LOL
