Signs Of The Times.

Yesterday we left our Asheville Holiday Inn pictured left and travelled  into North Carolina to a place called called Murphy. There we met Jim's
Cousin Jerry and his delightful wife Jean.

We were treated to wonderful day  at their Murphy Home. They are delightful people and we were made very welcome indeed.

 A couple more photo's of them  here. Jean and Jerry took us on a tour of their very Lovely home town and it was with obvious pride that they tolds us about their home, their friends, their church and their volunteer work that they do for their community. We loved every minute of it.

Today we left our Asheville Hotel and headed off to Birmingham Alabama for our next two night stay. Here we will meet another of Jim Cousins.
However today was simply a driving day with about 340 (about 520Km). I was feeling a bit flat so Jim did most of the driving until his back became sore so I did the last 42 miles in traffic into Birmingham. Pretty dull scenery, except for yet another thunderstorm which forced me to pull over as the wipers couldn't cope with the rain and I simply couldn't see the road. Dropped from 90 (30 degrees) down to 73 (22 degrees) very quickly. Arrived to our Hotel/motel which is our first "Great Western Plus".
Oh the signs...... here they are

Above are the many adds you see along both sides of the highway.

These signs left and right indicate to drivers whats available at the next exit. In this case exit 72 has 4 Gas stations and 6 food outlets.
A great idea that I wish we'd copy.




My favourite sign and one not seen at home for many, many, many Years.

Cheers
