Scavenger hunt…
Today Jan and I did a scenic tour of Baldwin County pawn shops on a scavenger hunt.
And the prize was…
A new…er, used VCR. The one in our coach died a couple of days ago and so far we’ve been unable to find a replacement.
The only ones I’ve found still on sale are DVD/VCR combos that are too big to fit in our overhead cabinet. So I had the bright idea to check out pawn shops. So off we went. And found ZIP.
Apparently pawn shops got out of the VCR business a good while ago, so no luck there. So I’ll have to figure something else out.
Next time, maybe a tour of Baldwin County flea markets?
After our tour Jan and I went back to Lulu’s for dinner. Just had to split another Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding. Mmmmmmm!
Yesterday was Garbage Day, except here they don’t pick up. Instead, we drop it off.
Dumpsters
There have been a few parks we’ve stayed at that have garbage cans at each site, but most have dumpsters somewhere.
The ones here are convenient to dropping off our garbage on the way out, and we’ve never found them overflowing as we have in some parks.
Tomorrow we’re going to take the Ft. Morgan ferry over to Dauphin Island, see Bellingrath Gardens and then come back the long, scenic way thru Mobile, Daphne, and Fairhope.
Road Trip!
