DAY NUMBER SIXTEEN
08.31.2008
The Left and the Right with the voice of reason behind them.
Now onto the days epic odyssey.
First we travel to Crest Mountain in Ashville NC....
With LadyZ and CoolBreeze in tow we follow the "excellent" directions provided.
The slower Zs finally wind their way up the hill.
The Z wave was in abundance....
North Carolina welcome wagon?
Soon the lots were filled and we had a sea of Zs.
You sure yall not one of those "all others" ??
We depart with HotTexan and her husband...
First turn out Buddy goes right....
To bad we were supposed to turn right! We learn early how to make quick u-turns.
It is almost indecent raising your trunk that high!
Away we go down I 40 as we join up with another covey of Texans.
Carol aka "Wrong Way Carol" and Dennis lead us to the first fuel stop.
Sorry Blaine, you are back on your own nickel. The golden gas goose has flown on.
Roger and Grace Seacrest added their signatures to the hood.
Never know what kind of RiffRaff you'll pass on the interstates.
The sun sets over I 40, but our trip is just begining......
Tahoe Tom finds a new favorit food, deep fried pickles.
Missed Elvis, he must have eaten earlier.
To bad for Tom, as it will be easier to find Elvis than fried pickles in Tofu Land.
First Texas gas stop.
That is about how we felt at this point.
This guy was the smartest one in the parking lot!
Never too tired for a photo op at the Texarkana rest stop.
The convoy was now down to Blaine and Tom, Buddy and Kathy and Greg.
We lost the rest some 13 hours ago....
This is an actual photo out of Tom's eyeball as we hit the road again....
After a mere 20 hours, 1032 miles and Tom is ready for bed...
No Blaine I DO NOT want to stay up and post another day!
