    Leaving camp today, Les took a wrong turn and it took several miles to get headed west. These roads in New Jersey are poorly signed and weirdly designed, not mention that the vegetation hides turns so you don’t see them until it is too late to turn. Add to that that when Google maps says to take the next right, there are actually two rights on the off ramp, not signed. So we left New Jersey and found a very large market with room to park. Les took a nap while Jill went into shop. After lunch, we headed for the freeway, but again Google stopped talking and less made another wrong turn, ending up on a road next to the freeway, but fortunately going the right direction. Jill got him back on the freeway. The roads are better, but the heavy head wind is pushing us left and right. Then we got on US Highway 22. At this point it is a three lane highway, but the electronic sign says lane ends, traffic stops after Exit 40. Which lane? Why does traffic stop? Several miles later, we found Exit 40 and the traffic is still moving. Finally we see several trucks moving to the left lane, so Les did too. The highway narrowed to two lanes and the traffic soon slows . . . Then stops. For the next 6-7 miles, our speed was a crawl or not moving. Info online indicates this is a construction zone. About a mile from the actual construction, two lanes is squeezed into one. After the construction zone the highway got back to normal, but that construction zone added at lease 30-40 minutes and aggravation to the trip. We rolled into the next KOA camp. As we checked in, we were handed a menu and told that we could call in a dinner order snd it would be delivered to our campsite! Bonus, no cooking or going out to eat! We were tired so went to bed early.En savoir plus
