GA to PA and trafic jams

Fri 10 June
Early start. 7am bus from Athens to Atlanta. Drove post the 96 Olympics park and on to the Airport. Checked in fine and a cple of hrs kicking about the airport befor the flight to Philly. The worst bit about traveling is all the waiting around at airports. Spoke with a contact at the USDA in Baltimore and was hoping to met up to further discussions. But it sems wer are heading in opposite directiosn to meetings etc. It may work out to meet up on wed.
Arriving Phildepphia Picked up a hire car and drove NW into the Penslyvania heartland. What should have ben a 2hr journey turned out to be a 4hr journey!!!!!! bad traffic, accidents, roadworks and everyone escaping the cities in the friday rush......I was tired when I arrived at Josie Porter Farm, Stroudsburg as a guest of Gary and Heidi Secord.

Things were in full flow when I arrived as they were having their yearly farm festival the following day. Despite being so very busy they kindly welcomed me into their house to stay. Treated me to home cooked Alaskan Salmon for dinner - yummy - prob the best salmon ive ever tasted.
