Fixed oatmeal for breakfast and the day went downhill from there. The visitor center in town around the Mile 0 marker has free wi-fi for tourists so we took our RV and Barb and I were anxious to get connected as we had both been without for a while. My computer not acting right. Unable to get Bellsouth email already for some goofy reason....BUT I could not access my Google accounts either! This machine has alway just automatically logged me on, but not today! After several tries, I sent out the email via Barb's computer that I was having trouble....OH darn!!!
After all that trouble, we went and took pictures at Mile Marker 0. It is a bit confusing about which marker is the official one...but the one with the stone cairn where the dogs are standing on the top is the original one altho they had to move it from the traffic circle b/c drunks and bad drivers kept running into it. So they moved it to the corner and that is where we had the picture made. HOWEVER, that said, I think the marker in town (the white one) is what the original actually looked like and they moved it into downtown to get more folks to go into town. So we covered our bases and took pix of both and even one on the mural!
We did a walking tour of the town - not much here...they paint lots of murals on building walls here depicting the building of the Al-Can and other local history. Went to an art gallery which was kind of interesting. Took LOTS of pix of Mile 0 marker. Jerry's day was made when some young cute chick wanted his picture by the marker b/c he was wearing his John Deere shirt and hat! Go figure!!!! So guys, if you want the chicks.....get a John Deere???? Needless to say he was beaming for the rest of the day! I should have taken the picture of her taking the picture....oh well....
Back to campground for a sandwich then I tried all afternoon to work w/ computer...no luck. There are several things that are not working exactly right, but I worry most about being able to send and receive email.
Dinner was bruschetta and spaghetti in the Grainger's RV. We visited a while then to bed kind of early for an early start in a.m.
