Left King George County at 11:13pm and arrived Ruckersville (Rt 29 @ Rt 33) 
6:30am.
Taking seven and a half hours to go approximately 60 miles and still on the 
move. Two trailer
transporters each hauling a 33 ton brew tank to the Coors brewery near 
Elkton. Should
arrive at Coors around noon today (Wednesday) The 20 Ft diameter by 70 Ft 
long tanks
are being moved with the help and support of wide load signs, pole trucks 
and two dozen
or more bucket trucks and boom (mini crane) trucks. It took just under 3 
hours to manueuver
thru Fredericksburg on Rt 3 from King George County. Stop lights had to be 
re-positioned,
some of the cross arms lifted a few feet higher by crane and some support 
cables removed
and tied aside. Continuing on Tuesday and Saturday nights there are 67 more 
tanks to move,
possibly in convoys of five at a time. Want to listen in:
