Marc, “Hey Little Al, ready for a road trip?”
Little Al, “I’m always ready, long one?”
Marc, “No, just 3 weeks to NC and The Outer Bank plus a few side trips?”
Little Al, “What about that chick, I think her name is Joanie, she going?”
Marc, “She is, I never travel without her.”
Little Al, “Whatever, I’m ready to go.”
Marc, “Hey Joanie, start packing. We’re heading out. Don’t forget to bring clothes for minus 30 in case we decide to climb Mt Everest.”
Joanie, “Check.”
Marc, “And don’t forget to bring something for 125 degrees in case we decide to walk across the Sahara Desert.”
Joanie, “Check.”
Marc, “And you might want to bring something decent in case we decide to go to one of those fancy dancy restaurants.”
Joanie, “Check. Should I bring extra just in case?”
Marc, “Off course, you can never have too many clothes.”
Little Al, “ I will never understand humans, you guys are crazy.”
And we’re off. We spent one night at Blaine and Kate’s then last night in Jackson, Tennessee on our way east . We’re staying at Panther Creek State Park near Knoxville, for a couple of nights before heading towards Newland, NC to check out that part of the world…already enjoying the better temperatures.
More…to…come…
