I pulled the Westy into a line of semis once, in
?Pennsylvania?  Asked the trooper at the head of the line could I get
weighed?  My recollection is that he looked a bit startled, and there
may or may not have been a consultation, but he told me to pass
through and then park on the other side.  I having done so, he led me
to a stairway and said "down there."  I went down the stair and found
myself in a concrete tunnel with no visible end.  It must have
crossed under the highway.  I walked, and walked, and fairly abruptly
it opened upward.  And before I could figure what to do, a window
popped open overhead and down came my weigh slip on a string.  I took
it and made another cross-country tunnel hike.  And then I was back
in the real world, blinking in the sunlight.  It was surreal, I think
the oddest thing that's happened on the road.

Yrs,
