Roanoke, VA
Another day of collection... although we didn't quite fill it up... rain stopped us at about 1:30. Collected to MP 169 of the parkway though. We still have a lot of the OPP lane to collect and a lot of smaller routes but we're making progress.
Also got a nice sulfur smell in the van today. One of our batteries is over-heating and it's not making for the greatest ride. It's over-heating because it's over-charging; it's not leaking anything, but it's not good. We think it could be an isolator that's bad, but we're not totally sure.
Good thing is that it only overheats when the systems are OFF; so we can work without the smell or the worry of a battery exploding (don't think that's possible).
Forgot my camera today; but the parkway is pretty unassuming around Roanoke. Maybe some more tomorrow.

- That's Jeff with a J
- I'm a contractor for the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service. My travels allow me to meet some interesting people and stay at some of the more "quality" establishments across the country. And although my work can sometimes get monotonous, my scenery does not. I get to see a lot of beautiful and ugly places, and it's about time I started to record it and share it.
