Pennsylvanians are coordinating with other truckers from around the country.....
News reporter asks the Scranton Convoy organizer Bob Bolus --- "Have you been in touch at all with the truck convoy coming from California to exchange notes and ideas?”
Bolus answers --- “We have had dialogue.... We've had conference calls and we're all on the same page. We're all for one thing: freedom and rights. It's America...."
The Scranton truck convoy is one of several headed toward the Washington, D.C., area.....
One such convoy left from California yesterday --- Organizers with that group called it "The People’s Convoy"; and they had hoped that they would have 1,000 semi-truck drivers departing from Adelanto, CAlifornia on Wednesday morning [reports from local authorities state that about 100 big rigs, and 500 to 600 cars participated in the convoy departing from Adelanto --- one report said that in addition to the truckers, there were campers, pickups and SUVs with handwritten messages of support joining in a procession of vehicles trailing the trucks onto the highway]
Early indications are that the estimated number of actual trucks participating in the convoys are fewer than the organizers had hoped for.

This is like Jan 6th all over again.
old galewyn is awfully quiet now that this blog's # 1 funding source is under scrutiny by the U.N. for bombing a sovereign nation. Meanwhile, big barrel chested golden brown hero Brian Fox is off to fight alongside the Ukrainians
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "TWO OTHER CONVOYS MIGHT BE COMING TO THE D.C. AREA" EDITION
EVEN AS THE SCRANTON CONVOY APPEARS TO HAVE FIZZLED AS A "GRIDLOCK" EVENT AROUND THE WASHINGTON BELTWAY, AND A SECOND STRING OF TRUCKERS FROM CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO PUSH EASTWARD, TWO ADDITIONAL CONVOYS BOUND FOR D.C. ARE MAKING PLANS FOR THEIR DEPARTURES NEXT WEEK
The "People's Convoy" group left Adelanto Stadium in California on the morning of Febraury 23rd, is expected to make stops in eight cities before arriving in Hagerstown, Maryland on the evening of March 4th, and a start to demonstrations in the Washington, D.C., area on March 5th.
In addition, a so-called "American Truckers Freedom Convoy" is expected to leave from Washington, the state, on March 1st --- and end up in or around Washington, the nation's capital, by March 6th. They haven't provided very many details about their plans about their intended route and waypoints, but they have specifically mentioned that their convoy will be visiting 16 cities across the country.
In addition to the convoy leaving from Washington State, two other groups of trucks affiliated with the "American Truckers Freedom Convoy" are expected to depart from Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, and drive to the Washington, D.C., area on March 6th.
