3-2-1-Go! Off we went, once our key calamity had been recovered (covered in our YouTube channel “Trippin with an Aussie” in the series “A New Reality”). Below, you can view highlight images of our trip based on the location we were at. It was a lovely section of the trip this week; some friend and family time primarily, dotted with incidents. Among those are: our hubcaps falling off, some weather stripping dragging along the road, and our very first earthquake!
The earthquake originated several hours away, but I had woken up early to get some extra bonding time in with my dad (who I have spent the last ten years estranged from) and around 9AM we felt a rumble. Small enough for me to think perhaps it was his sound system. But he turned and asked me “What was that?” and I looked over and saw the desk lamp shaking. “I don’t know, must have been a small earthquake.” I replied jokingly “I’ll check the news in a few hours”. And, sure enough when I did, there had been an earthquake! An hour after that, Ali started “boofing” and I scolded her, felt my butt rumble from the sound system (or so I thought) and heard dad ask, “Another one???”
The news said aftershocks were to be expected throughout the day, I had no idea they could last that long. I had thought they would happen only for an hour or so after the original earthquake. And apparently, my dog can sense the aftershocks slightly before they happen. The more you know!
Florida/Georgia
Most important rule of any “trip”: Hydrate. 
Goodbye Florida. 
A stop for grub in Jesup, Georgia with some fantastic cloud dimension.
South Carolina
Quick stop at South of the Border in SC. 
Huge storm chasing us as we left. 
Trio of happy adventurers on the road ready for our next destination.
North Carolina
Beautiful after storm sunset as we pull into our destination in NC. 
Finally, a place Ali can feel comfortable enough to rest in the daytime. 
Had a visit with a similar tempered Aussie mix named Terra and had a very lovely walk our last day.
