It took 2 hours 45 minutes to get home from the beach! I left Harvey Cedars a little after 4 thinking it was early enough to get home and wash the salt off the car. :-x Rt 72 was bumper to bumper, I could see Rt 9 wasn't even moving. I got to 539 and went about a mile before it backed up! :shock: That had to be about 5-6 miles that normally takes 10 minutes and took 45 minutes. Note to self, never, ever try to leave the beach on Labor Day Monday again! :nod: Car is washed though.

You were def asking for it. Seemed like everyone in the tristate was at the Jersey shore. Weather was beautiful.

I feel your pain, Jeff. We left LBI at 11:45 and got home at 3:00.

i went down to farmingdale to pick up a 9inch rear for the bronco and as soon as i got off 195 onto 537 there was a crap load of cars stuck in traffic. line was from the jackson outlets all the way down to six flags. with cars still headed that way. im glad i didnt hit that on my way to pick my stuff up.

Same thing here, I left my house at like 1ish and 539 was a mess. Right where they put in that extra traffic light by the wendy's screwed it all up.

You had to drive to the water, liar!

And I left Forked River at like 1 and didn't hit too much traffic.
