Washington DC Beltway this weekend Oct 11-13

Question

Just read on Facebook that "Truckers Ride for the Constitution" will be in Washington DC this weekend October 11-13.  This is not a political comment, just a warning to anyone traveling in that area this weekend. Supposedly 7000 truckers have committed to being there.  The traffic there is already bad enough. :E

Should not be too bad. With all the government workers on vacation, the traffic should be light.:)

Quick, go to Amazon and buy Earl Conlon's book before the digital copies run out!  :)

Not really. Lots of traffic Sunday and rain to put icing on the cake. Truckers were a bust because most were'nt sure of the day.
