Background
Our ongoing adventures, traveling from state to state for Jim's work.
|
Three weekends ago, Jim and I decided to travel some of the back roads of North Carolina. So, we climbed into our little Smart car and took off on our adventure.
Now as a reader, you have to understand that we had one sunny day since we got here on January 10/21. We have had rain each day or night and sometimes for several days. The daytime temperature was between 29 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit which is roughly -1.7 to 2 degrees Celsius.
As we traveled, we noticed that we went over several small bridges that covered everything from a small sized creek to a larger stream. About every three miles we crossed a bridge. There were indeed a lot of creeks, Jim joked about having to walk back up to the bridge to cross over.
We were gone about three hours and were able to see a variety of homes. From farmhouses to newer constructions. We also saw several under construction, with all the rain we have had, I think there might be water damage. However, it is just my opinion.
The most amazing thing we saw was an albino donkey/mule and three albino piglets. Lots of cows of different colors, the same with horses and donkeys. I did notice that the dogs remained on the property rather than chase cars.
Our adventure was just that, an adventure. Until the next time...
