Sleepy Town

Well, here I am in White Haven/Drum/Blakeslee, Pennsylvania, depending on which map you look at and who you ask. :) After a smooth 2 hour drive from NYC, I'm now here in the Comfort Inn - Pocono.

I haven't been out driving from the city in a long while, and doing it during daylight hours really helped. When I went out to try to find a way to a local Arby's, I had a hard time getting around, because I wasn't used to it being so dark! Made a few wrong turns, and if not for this trusty GPS, I'd be screwed.

NYC is the sort of place that you could theoretically drive around with no lights on at 3am and still be able to get from point A to point B with little difficulty (if not for the cops!). Out here in the Poconos, it gets pitch black really quick, and no lights = death. And missing an exit or turn sucks because it's about 6 to 10 miles between exits.

Heh... reminds me of Indiana.

Anyway, I'm settled into this nice little hotel. Yay for high-speed wifi to keep me in touch with everything! It's time to get ready from tomorrow, the beginning of the bladesmithing seminar I came here for!
