Gas Guzzling


This view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina was taken by Dot and Gentre from their room at the Pisgah Inn (milepost 405). We have seen many such views, simply beautiful, but this week things are different. THERE IS NO GAS TO GO SEE THESE VIEWS.

We just came from a Brevard shopping trip, which we combined with a nice lunch at the “Square Root” but we could find no gas. We both had a pint of Harp lager, so we didn’t get all upset about it.

We understand this is happening all over North Carolina because of Hurricane Ike which hit the offshore platforms and refineries in Texas. Other areas if the nation are similarly afflicted.

So we are sticking close to the motor home at The Cradle of Forestry until this crisis blows over. It may take weeks, but fortunately we have enough gas to tide us over.
