We'll fix up my wife's car tomorrow before she has a long interstate drive on Saturday. The Fiat will probably be the smallest T2SDA supporting vehicle. :)

The last traffic camera site opens the camera in a new window so it will be easy to copy the URL here of any that have some interesting views.

For something that was reported as a hoax, it is very impressive.

Thanks for the posts!

Things are starting to get slow in DC.

A few DC locals are reporting some activity but for the most part, media silence, or in this case, minimizing what is happening.

Truckers Ride for the Constitution set for Friday morning

A few dozen trucks bearing the hallmarks of a planned trucker rally on the Capital Beltway have made their way into the D.C. area.

By about 8:45 a.m., Virginia State Police officials said that about 30 tractor trailers left a stop in Dumfries at about 7:30 with plans to head toward Washington. Meanwhile, in Dumfries, 15 more were spotted bearing the official Twitter hashtag of the ride - #T2SDA.

Police officials say that at about 8:50 a.m., authorities stopped four trucks that were driving side-by-side across four lanes of traffic, slowing the commute in the area to about 15 mph.

More reports minimizing the participation. This one says 'ten trucks'.

Truck Convoy Protest Causing Traffic Problems on Capital Beltway

A convoy of tractor-trailers planning to circle the Capital Beltway in protest of the federal government has begun its descent on the Washington area and is causing some traffic problems for the morning commute.

The “Truckers Ride for the Constitution,” which organizer Zeeda Andrews said could attract as many as 3,000 big rigs to the nation’s capital, only had about 10 participants as of 8:30 a.m.
