Reply to comment by Dispatcher12 in Doing a road trip through the Northern Tier/Endless Mountains, any sights we should see? by Nvjds

Ah, Meshoppen. Got my first and only speeding ticket there. When the police officer came up to my window, he said he “knew” I saw him at the beginning of the 35 mph and didn’t slow down (I didn’t see him). He told me where he had been sitting, allegedly, as idk he could have been lying. And he was willing to die on that hill, that I clearly looked at him and locked eyes and didn’t slow down. I had no idea what he was talking about and it just made him angrier the more I was honest with him.

Ugh. That same guy alleged that I was going 70mph UPHILL out of town. In a shitty state 2001 Dodge Caravan my company bought at the Harrisburg auto auction. Not if I stood on the gas pedal, pal. Then he went on to remind me that it was Halloween and there is "a lot of drunk driving". I'm in professional clothes with a briefcase on the seat beside me in a minivan. At 2 in the afternoon.

We’re going to Meshoppen tomorrow. How recent was this? Sounds like I need to be careful either way, I do not want a ticket at all 😵 but I figure its worth seeing another little town. They’re very cool to drive through :)
