Tuesday. Hoboken, Trenton, Camden, THE BATTLESHIP!

New Jersey Transit resolved their strike and my original plan was back on, ride the train the 80 miles South to Camden and see BB62, The U.S.S. New Jersey Iowa class battleship.  Skyler is the one who mapped out our route and figured out what trains we should ride.

Pics start at the bottom.

Get ready for lots of interior shots of the ship tomorrow.  I took over 1,000 photos onboard!

Holy Jesus!!  There she is!

This is the way.

3 hours of train travel later, we were in Camden on the waterfront!
