Have Wheels, Will Travel
We picked up the new truck last weekend. Of course I have not had a chance to drive it yet! It is a red Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck. We are actually a 2-car family right now, as we still have the hire car until next Wednesday.And we bought a new bike for Gordon this week as he did not have one to ship over from the UK. I have borrowed one from some friends to use myself until mine turns up with the rest of the stuff.
So we went for a bike ride one evening. We were going to find a trail through some local forest, but Gordon wanted to go to Home Depot (like B&Q for all English people reading this) to get some tools, so he looked up on the internet to find the nearest branch, which showed as just over 4 miles away. I plotted a route from the map that avoided all major roads, and off we went, only to discover when we got there that it is actually just a Home Depot training office, not an actual store. So we cycled the 10 mile round trip for nothing! But it will be nice to be able to explore further now by bike than I could before on foot.
