Stuck in the rain...

A good trip gone south...literally.

Monday evening, October 6, 2008, the traveling crew set out from East Deer, PA for an overnight drive to Atlanta, GA for a round of meetings in the south. The trip, overall, went very well - easy drive with great company. We arrived in Atlanta around 11:30 yesterday (October 7) morning for an aftenoon full of meetings with clients in the area. The evening brought with it news that our meetings were cancelled for today, so we decided to travel north for home a day early. We did a brief 40 mile trip north of Atlanta so as to avoid rush hour city traffic and found a very nice Cracker Barrel that would allow us to park overnight in their secured, gated parking lot. (Thank you to all of the staff at Cracker Barrel in Braselton, GA!)

We woke up this morning and took our time getting ready to leave, and finally hit the road around 9:30AM, driving through what is being reported as a wet rain front covering the entire Eastern US. After about an hour or so of driving, the windshield wipers (the ones which were 'fixed' a week ago) stopped working. We are now stopped about 100 miles north of Atlanta, waiting out the rain in our own mud puddle.
