The Grrrowl played an exciting game today, beating the Wildcatters in a shoot out. They have won five of their last six games. |

I was a bozo for this part of the trip. I headed up to Wheeling, WV to see the Nailers play. Checked into the hotel, rested a while then headed to the WesBanco Arena. Turns out, the Nailers were playing a home game but they were playing it at the Iceoplex (45 minutes north into PA.) I didn't go - it was dark and raining. The nice fellow at the WesBanco parking garage tried to give me directions but he wasn't very confident.
I returned to my hotel room and pouted. Then I checked the rest of my schedule to make sure I hadn't goofed up on other games. Turns out, there wasn't a game in Johnstown the next night (that's what was on my itinerary). I checked all league sites for a nearby (somewhat nearby) game on Thursday. The only one close was in Cleveland. I had thoughts of driving to Cleveland then head to Norfolk for the Friday game. Those thoughts didn't last long. Cleveland's too big of a city for my comfort to drive in and the drive to Norfolk would have been a long one. |

|
|
So, I pouted some more then went to bed. |

I slept in late today. Didn't get on the road until about 11 am. Headed east and south to Norfolk, VA. Of course, I hit Washington DC rush hour traffic and couldn't even make it all the way to Norfolk. I did get to view some nice farms in PA and MD driving on the Turnpike and down I-70. |
