- Where’s Donna? That’s her standing in a field of tall grass just off the Helen Trail in Unicoi State Park
On the trip back from Robbinsville, North Carolina today we knocked off three more Georgia State Park caches, along with 2 Georgia Counties and one DeLorme page. We walked a little over 6 miles total in the three parks and in one place I thought for a minute we were in an Enchanted Forest. The trail kept going up and up and up, so it seemed like they had figured out how to make a loop trail uphill for the whole length.
We’ve had the Sonata now for a whole three days and there are 731 miles on it, 702 of which are ours. At this pace in the first year of ownership we will accumulate 88,938 miles.
Today’s “Holy Crap This Car Is Big” story came at a driver exchange in a Burger King parking lot in Commerce, Georgia. At the previous driver change when Donna gave up the driver’s seat to me, she didn’t move the seat at all and I had to squeeze in. So this time she thought she would do me a big favor and move the seat all the way down and back. Trouble was, once she got the seat in that position, she couldn’t reach the door handle anymore to let herself out.
Hey, like your new ride! Pretty color. Quite a change from the Miata, huh?! 🙂 We were in NC this weekend, too, staying at the cabin for a few days. It got down in the low 40’s one night and we had a fire in the wood stove. Then, coming back to this HOT weather…I am ready to head back up to Banner Elk again! I may just move in with Frank & Elaine up there for the summer!
Thanks. Yeah, it is just a touch different than the Miata. 😉 In Western NC and Northern GA it was spring all over again, the dogwoods were still in bloom, as too were the wild azaleas along the trails. Had to come home and wash pine pollen off the Purple Whale.
Tell your hubby we would like another one of those small car trash bags. Even though the Sonata would hold a 50 gallon Rubbermaid garbage can, we want a small one so we to have to keep emptying it. It is worth a couple dozen chocolate chip cookies to us.
