October 22, 2023 Day 15 Thomasville Georgia 21 miles
Today is mostly cloudy but due to be warm. No tours are scheduled today so its time to work on the car and do laundry.
Rob went to the fairgrounds to change the oil in the car and do some other minor repairs. One of the locals is going to have an oil pan and oil disposal ready by 9:30. Connie stayed at the hotel and did laundry. The hotel only charged $2.00 to wash and nothing to dry. We will have to do laundry again before we leave.
When Rob came back from the fairgrounds he had a short optional tour guide for around town. We ate salad for lunch and then went for the tour. Some of the houses here are beautiful and huge. One of those supposedly has no square rooms. I don’t know if that includes rectangles. We also saw a huge old oak tree. It is believed to be the oldest living oak tree in the US. The Plaza Restaurant is the oldest in Georgia. Didn’t look that old. This was a great day to tour the city. Traffic was very light on most streets. Many of the businesses were closed. After the self tour, we bought gas. We are ready for tomorrow. The organizers have split the cars into three groups for tomorrow. We are in the first group and are scheduled to depart by 0745. Early wake-up in the morning.
The opening banquet was tonight at 6 pm. The caterers were late arriving. It took them over an hour to serve everyone. We did have live music during dinner. Surprisingly we were among the first to be served. One of the guys at our table has season tickets to the Packers games. He actually owns 8 seats. Unfortunately the Packers lost again today.
