The End of the Road

~ JodiLea

Because the weather turned nasty (winds from the North and freezing temps), the cousins decided to explore the island. From the car. We are silly, not crazy.

We decided to go North first. Probably because the Northside of the island, had nothing marked on the map. We knew there was something, and we wanted to know what. There were sand dunes, not like I have seen before. They were HUGE. It seemed that thousands of trucks dumped sand by the road and left to get more. They were right up to the road. The further North that we went, the more we could see the ocean over the dunes. The island was getting more narrow up here.

We passed where the birding and nature center was. After that was a Convention Center. What!?! We saw nothing there but sand and a sign that said “Convention Center”. We would have explored that, but alas, there was tall wire fencing all around it.

There were dunes to the left of us and dunes to the right – for miles. Then, we came to a sign that said, “Road Ends – 1000 Feet”. Of course, we had to go at least 1,000 feet more.

This is The End of the Road

If it had been a nice, calm, and warm day, we would have parked and walked around the roadblock and stood taking selfies from the other side. That day, there was no way we wanted to get out of the car and get sandblasted. [You can see the sand blowing over the road.]

Now it was time to flip a U and drive to the other side of the island. It was Deja vu until we passed our hotel and went all the way to the end of the South. No photo, but the end of the road South was an RV park. Yawn.

We tried a restaurant called “Parrot Eyes”. We had the yummiest fish & fries lunch. It was a local fish called “Black Drum” it tasted like cod, only lighter. They were not batter-fried but had a cornmeal coating that was good tasting and less fattening. Not that we were counting calories, fats, or carbs. When you’re on vacation, nothing counts, right?

We stayed in for supper and had sandwiches and leftovers and watched silly movies on the TV. When we turned it on a movie was playing that was so bizarre, disjointed, and funny. We had no idea what it was called. It turned out to be ‘Horrible Bosses 2’. Not recommended by us. The second feature was ‘What a Man Wants’. Yep, it was like ‘What Women Want’, except for a chick hits her head and suddenly can hear men’s thoughts. Amusing and predictable. We rounded off the night with a South Park episode and crashed.

This wild and crazy adventure has been exhausting.

Never Choke in a Restaurant in the South!

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich,  begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says,
‘Kin ya swallar?’

The woman shakes her head no.

Then he asks, ‘Kin ya breathe?’

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.
As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.

His partner says, ‘Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I ain’t niver seed nobody do it!’

Now, that’s funny!
