The coal is bound for Mount Rushmore. Early next year they will be adding our 44th president to the national monument.
Full Version: Road closure/delays on I-80 and I-90
Over this upcoming weekend they will be transporting a 40 ton lump of hard coal from Scranton, PA, to Rapid City, SD, along Interstate 80. According to WNEP Channel 16 this will cause massive bottlenecks this weekend in upstate PA.

Are you sure it’s coal, I herd it was going to be made from dung. It was designed by the creators of the Poo-Pet.
Watch your speed in Ohio.
72 mph is ok but you will probably see several troopers hiding and watching

So, if Ohio sends its very best state troopers to escort this 40 ton lump of poop, would they be Super Pooper Troopers? 
In honor of the 44th President of the United States,
Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor; "Barocky Road".
Barocky Road is a blend of half-Vanilla, half-Chocolate, and
surrounded by Nuts and Flakes. The Vanilla portion of the mix is
not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.
The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The cost is $100.00 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful
cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the
person in line behind you.
Thus, you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding
an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.
Are you feeling stimulated?

I just drove I80 across IA, Il and into IA. Chicago always sucks no matter what time you drive through.
The only other show spot was less than 10 miles of single lane in IL.
IL has a law if you are pulling a trailer the speed limit is 55 but they do not seem to enforce it.
Thanks to pres 44 I now have another reason to dislike IL!!

I can assure you, they enforce the 55mph trailer rule!!! I was travelling through the blahstiness of IL when a nice state trooper informed me of the 55mph rule.
