Strange sights part 2

I crossed into Virginia yesterday!
So go to the Menu and check out my photos from North Carolina and the other states (whose names I've already forgotten) that I've ridden through.

Here are a few interesting things I noticed.


Lots of rural homes have graves or small cemeteries in their front yards.  In some neighborhoods, every house has a little cemetery of its own.


A gift store had cow tail sprinklers!  They swish back and forth.


Saw how Trump got elected.  It was by the Southern poverty sector.  Saw many Confederate flags in front of homes and businesses.  Because of poll taxes and voter exams, in NC Blacks have only had the vote since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.


Good news-  everybody has Help Wanted signs up.  No Name Pizza in Beaufort, NC, for example, needs somebody who knows how to deal with experience.



I got to ride through the Marine base at Camp LeJeune because I brought my own Lt Commander with me.  They saluted him.


In NC there are signs on the highway that tell you how to go the other way.  At every exit. There are also U-Turn circles every 10 miles or so.


This is where the daily activities are

Every town should have a claim to fame

  1. I especially like the donkeys and the costal houses.
    And the best tasting municipal drinking water.
    Maybe I should move there because our water tastes like a mouth full of metal shavings.
