I apologize that I couldn't get the pictures any clearer, but if I had gone outside to take them the deer would have run away. Please click a couple of times to enlarge them. They were so cute - one of the fawns tried to nurse but the doe kicked her foot up and walked off, fawns eventually trailing behind.
I've already received a few comments on my earlier post, one asking if it was worth the expense of the trip to Asheville rather than pay the storage fee. The answer to that is I have been paying $85/mo for two years, and now the rate is going up to $95. I think it is worth the cost of the trip, plus there are several stops I would like to make on my way.
With the Highlander I can even think about driving the distance because the fuel cost should be that much lower than the truck. I figure I can get well into Virginia before I will need to refuel, and then top off just before leaving VA, which usually has the lowest prices of any state slong the route.
- Back On The Trail
I parked my car at a lot a few miles further along the trail and walked about 2-1/2 miles, which is 5 miles round trip. My legs are hurting, and I can't understand why they should since I walk a lot to begin with. The sun was...
- I Should Sleep Well Tonight
I am surrounded by boxes that need emptying and a couple of items of furniture that need to be rearranged, but I'm happy to have my comfy bed set up. It is a queen size bed, and takes up a lot of the room. I'll be happy with the bed, a chest of...
- Needless Worry?
Just a quick post to say I think the fawns are ok. Sandy's parents have been here for the past three days, and we have watched the comings and goings of the baby deer with much worry. I think her father figured it out though - the mother was ready...
- Now I Remember
I remember why I never travel from about March through September. The traffic is insane, and especially today on I-81. I have never seen it this crowded, and I have traveled it for years. There was continuous traffic in both directions, and while the...
- Getting My Truck Ready
I got new tires on the front today, plus replaced the driver's side tie-rod end, and had an alignment. I only understand the tire part! Plus I got new premium wiper blades and they lubricated the brake pedal. I was noticing a moan sometimes when I...
