Dorcas and I left Ran's house in Angier about 1:00pm. We just enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner at the Waffle House near Ridgeland, SC. I sincerely enjoy traveling at Christmas. We found a strong wi-fi signal when we parked the coach, so I decided I would make a quick post.
Earlier this afternoon we pumped 116 gallons of $2.19 diesel. That is the least we have ever paid for diesel. Ironically, that was in Lumberton, NC. Fuel prices in South Carolina are usually 10 to 15 cents cheaper than in NC. The cheapest diesel we have seen in South Carolina is $2.31. Go figure.
While pumping fuel I saw an Australian Shepherd running around the fuel islands that looked just like Matilda. She even had a bandanna just like Matilda's. Wait a minute ... it IS Matilda. Apparently Matilda had followed me out of the coach, and I had closed the door behind myself not realizing she had slipped out. I guess I was so excited about the cheap fuel that I wasn't paying enough attention. If I had not seen her we conceivably could have driven off without her and not known where she had gotten to. That's scary! We recovered the pooch before a southbound Yankee got her thus averting a potential disaster: Dorcas would have killed me if I had lost her dog!
We plan to drive about two more hours and park in a rest area just north of the Florida line. The weather is beautiful. Wish you were here!
