The only good thing about a rainy weekend..

I'm just curious.. if it's raining all weekend, there's probably going to be a surprising lack of bikers.. do you suppose the gas stations might be more flexible with there gas rather than rationing it like they had proposed?...

Just a thought...

No need to obsess about finding gas. Robbinsville isn't that far away (+/- 25 miles), and as you travel about you'll encounter plenty of stations along the way. Your tank is good for 3-4 hundred miles, you'll be doing little *****-to-the-wall driving, and you'll be hard-pressed to use up a tank a day. A minimum of planning, or topping off when you get a chance, and you'll have no worries, mate.
You might be leaving The Big City, but this isn't Paris-to-Dakar, nor will you be stranded in Outer Mongolia.
Chill, as the younguns say. Relax and enjoy your vacation!
