Heading To West Hartford Ct.

Hi folks!
I am on the way to West Hartford, Ct. this is not my usual run. A lot cooler here on I80 than in the south. The traffic seems to be heavier here in Pa. I stopped at Snow Shoe, Pa. Very little snow but it sure was cold. Well, I guess you cant stay in one place all the time, even though I would like to. I have no idea where I will reload. I dont run in this area very much so I dont really know where we will reload.
Until next time be safe
Dick
