We picked up empty plastic tomato bins in Florida that a farm was moving to one of their other farms in Mappville, VA which is on that little piece of peninsula across the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia and Maryland.
We crossed the 15 mile long Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel ($35 for big trucks), parts of it is a bridge then there are parts that go below the water into a tunnel so that large ships can go above the tunnel without having to make a tall bridge or mess with a draw bridge. It would have been cool to see a large freighter go by in between the bridge spans because the bridge parts are right down on the water.
We don’t pick up our next load until Monday, so we’re here for a few days. It’s hot and muggy, but not as bad as Florida. At least we’re going back to Southern California and I’ll be able to get to Vegas and take care of a few appointments before hitting the road again.
More Improvements
On the old site, I had placed Flickr badges on the sidebar when we had a new bunch of photos. That was getting kind of long and it would take awhile to load them all.
Now, I have a listing under Photos of our photo albums, (still in progress, so check back often) which will take you to a separate page with a list of thumbnails at the bottom of the page. Clicking on a thumbnail brings up a pretty cool effect (I didn’t make it, I just installed it here) to view photos. I’m putting any youtube videos on that page also for the same reason. Because it was starting to take a long time to load up all those graphics on the main page if you’re only coming by to read the latest post.
