From Bowman SC, I drove west on I-26 to Columbia, where I took I-77 north.  At 0215, I pulled into the Charlotte OC.

I topped off the fuel, parked, and took our dirty laundry bags into the laundry room in the OC.  Every OC has a laundry room, with free front loading washers and free dryers.   Since we were still low on hours, and had time on the load, it made sense to do some laundry now.  I also took my laptop computer inside, signed on to AOL, & updated this journal somewhat.  Lori woke up & came inside around 0430.  By 0600, I was in the sleeper.

I awoke in Beckley WV at the Tamarack plaza.  We went inside for a break, & I got a hamburger from Burger King.  Lori continued driving into Ohio.  She stopped at Caldwell OH, & I took over.

I continued north on I-77 to I-70 west to I-270 north around Columbus.  Lori stayed up with me until I arrived at the consignee, The Limited. I dropped TA931613 & picked up empty TA942051. I drove that north on I-71 to US-30 east to the Rubbermaid Home Products plant in Wooster OH.  I dropped the empty and, since my load would not be ready "for a few hours", parked, and did my midnight paperwork.
