Psychic Killer Cats (or whatever) . . . (archive)

Rachel commented on the lack of chatter on the Talkabouts. No mystery - the drivers were too busy driving, and the passengers were too busy hanging on.
(Be sure to read Rachel's disclaimers before driving with her!)

What do you do when you cross a one lane bridge, and on the other side of the bridge is a one lane road with No Outlet and Private Road signs? Why, you press on of course! As fate would have it, one of the two people that live on the road came along in the opposite direction. The lady didn't seem anxious to back up and give way on HER road, but Rachel explained the logic of the situation. "Well, as long as you don't mind the wait, you can hang out while we back up 8 cars all the way down the road and across the bridge - or, um, YOU can back up." We all waved our thanks to her as we passed. Reaching the little turn-around at the end of the road, we gloated over Rachel's command of the situation. That's when the gunshots began.

Did we miss the sign that said "No Trespassing - Survivors Will Be Prosecuted"? The shooting sounded awfully close, and none of the cars were blaze orange so we beat it back to the bridge.

The Bridge restaurant had a great view of Roebling's bridge from the deck, and the best food to be had anywhere in sight of the bridge. I hope to never again need a knife and fork to eat a burger.

I'm too young to be of the Woodstock generation (well, by a little bit anyway) but it was pretty cool to be there all the same. There were a few houses on the road, and while they certainly weren't there in '69, we closed our eyes and imagined what it might have been like to be living there during the fabled concert:

Ding-dong! "Can I use your bathroom man?"
Ding-dong! "Can I use your bathroom man?"
Ding-dong! "Can I use your bathroom man?"

There's a little hippie in all of us, if you're ever in the area check it out.

Having the Boxter with us was fun - and I only made one Porsche joke. We had the slot behind the Boxter for much of the trip and it plays a very sweet song! I complimented Bob on the exhaust note over the radio and I could swear from that point on he was doing a bit more revving than he needed to!

Thanks to Rachel, and all the good folks who came!
