Mission NJ: Penn in the Dark

Quick one: we reached the very edge of Pennsylvania and tried to find a hotel. Oops. The first town had no power (thank you, national news for not telling us PA was having power issues) which made negotiating intersections with no lights a bit hair-raising. Our next move was to head back into PA as we knew NJ would be worse off. We tried a bunch of hotels who rudely told us they were full and unhelpfully dismissed us rather than finding something else nearby. Thankfully, a combination of mobile internet, map reading, and cellphone service booked us a hotel 35miles away. It took a while to reach it but after eating (Crackerbarrel, again!) we got there and are all about ready for sleeping.

Tomorrow we have to get back on the Interstate and then it's about 90 more minutes, maybe 2hrs if power is still affecting traffic, to the apartment and next assessment of the situation.
