A while back when we       were leaving NYC we somehow ended up heading TOWARD NYC on the George       Washington bridge. The bridgekeepser suggested that I make a U-turn       when traffic allowed. Yes, I made a U-turn with the 27-foot monsterhome       on the GW bridge.              > A couple of years ago,when in an unfamiliar part of Tennessee, just after       > exiting the interstate the road I was going to take was closed for       > construction.
