Day 32 – Washington, NC (185 miles)

A couple days ago Robin saw a Krispy Kreme sign somewhere and got the taste in her mouth for donuts for breakfast.  Now – this girl never asks for anything, so when she does – she gets it!!  We backtracked (something I just about never do) about 4 miles to the closest Krispy Kreme and what do you know, the Hot sign was on.  That (for those of you who don’t know) means you can have your donuts hot out of the fryer immediately after they go through the glaze waterfall.  If you haven’t had ’em this way – you owe it to yourself to give it a try.  Melt in your mouth goodness!!  I won’t tell you how many we ate, but we look pretty happy don’t we?

I wouldn't recommend them as a daily part of your healthy diet - but once in a while..... YUM

Today was a short day so I decided it was time to get new tires for the trailer.  Robin said that she was worried that one of the trailer tires would blow out, then the trailer would start swerving back and forth uncontrollably and the ensuing wreck would be horribly painful and possibly even fatal.  The tires do need to be replaced but with that little scenario running around in my wife’s head – that task has moved up to A #1 on the priority list.  I was quite surprised how difficult it was to find this size tire that’s not a golf cart tire.  We were very lucky that one of the golf cart guys pointed us in the right direction.  It took a couple hours start to finish but now we have new rubber on the trailer & Robin is all smiles again.

The tires were really worn and completely bald in many areas, we'll see how the new ones do.

Never seen a kerosene pump before.  Looked to me like it was still being used too.

Needless to say, we were on the back roads today and if you ask me the weather was absolutely perfect.  There was at least a high overcast that kept things cool but quite a bit of the time the sky was dark enough that it could have started pouring any moment.  It didn’t rain on us at all – again.  A side note here – we have been dry, however the GPS has seen the rain, left on the bike overnight last night. However, this GPS has seen the rain and recovered quite nicely before so we are hoping for a full recovery this time as well.  It looks like it’s going to be okay, cross your fingers.

Our own private road.  Don't see stuff like this up on the slab for sure.

Last but not least we would like to send our positive thoughts and prayers out to our friend, Bernie Nelson.  Rest up Bernie & we’ll see you on the golf course when we get back.32 map

  1. Last time I went to Krispy Creme and the hot sign was out I ate 6 glazed donuts. Looks like you are having a great time!
