Mrs. P in the north Georgia Mountains. August 2, 2009.
I’m sure Betsy and I will have quite a bit to say about our trip to Florida in the days ahead, but now I want to tell you about the unsung partner in all our travels. There’s a lot of talk about clunkers nowadays, but our Prius — Mrs. P — is definitely not a clunker.
We got Mrs. P in February, 2005. Since then we have traveled many miles — some of them on interstates and some on less-well maintained roads. Mrs. P has successfully traveled along snow-covered forest service dirt roads in the mountains and successfully gotten over and through wash-outs that turned back jeeps.
Last Sunday we were in the mountains of north Georgia searching for some waterfalls. We knew there was a stream with two waterfalls on them about two miles from a ranger station. The sign in the photo above (enlarge the picture to read it more clearly) was on the opposite side of the road from the station.
Mrs. P handled the road with no problems. I just could not resist taking this picture on our way back. I wonder where Mrs. P will take us next?
