Day 2: The plot thickens

Day 2:

10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

180 miles

Perkins: A little breakfast for some weary travelers before we set out on the road again.

Powell's Farm Market: Mike is obsessed with stopping at places that are well advertised with roadside signs. We stop at Powell's but we're not in the market for buying any fruits or vegetables. Mike does however pick up a coin for his dad at a store called "Ol Stuff". 

It's amazing the way advertising works in the south. They have a kid whose job it is to wave cars into the market with traffic sticks.

Kitty Hawk Harley Davidson: The smell of rain is in the air. Mike dons his raingear onesie. 

Pizzazz Pizza: We get the pizza buffet hoping to hang out there until the storm blows over. It proves to outlast us.

Holiday Inn Express: We get banged for $150 to stay at a Holiday Inn Express. I paid $150, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. 

Hooters: Hooters is closed at 10:00. Kitty Hawk is not a hotbed of nightlife. Mike heads back to the hotel, but I go to another spot for some hotwings. The locals are friendly. I'm always surprised at how generally approachable people from outside of Jersey are.
