YorkL8apex (Tony), Shrek (Jeff), and myself made a quick trip to NY last Friday and Saturday to retrieve some goods. Here's how it went.
I left work at 1130 and drove the 4 hours north up route 17 to meet Jeff and Tony in Norfolk.
Quick pit stop in Elizabeth City.

We left Norfolk around 1600 Friday and headed up the eastern shore to avoid the traffic on 64 and 95. Our goal was Bridgewater, NJ where we could get a little rest.
Loading up in Jeff's Tahoe.

We were back on the road at 0600 looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. Note to self, the Friendly's in Moorisville NJ doesn't serve breakfast.
On our way through NJ, we were passed by this beast on 287. I grabbed a couple quick pics.

We got a good lead on a local diner in Goshen NY. It was a great meal which helped for the long day ahead.

We made it to our destination around 0830 Saturday morning and proceeded to get to work. Once the ZR-1 was moved off the lift we got to work taking the lift apart and loading it up along with some extra parts.

Someone put this in the pile of items to pickup but there was no way we were making room for this thing. It stayed in NY and is probably in the dump by now.

And the ZR-1 we brought back.
