Auspicious Beginnings?

Well as you can see we woke up to snow and more cold. We thought we would take a little tour around the Horse Park but drove a few feet an realized we had a front flat tire. I can't tell you my first thought, but was pleased in the long run that we didn't have a problem while we were rolling down the road. Apparently, it was a slow leak as we were able to put enough air in and get to a Walmart (the only thing open on Sunday) where we decided that it would be smart to put two new tires on the front considering everything with towing the vehicle. Nice start Huh? Lets see, first visit ever to a walmart for me and I was impressed ....althought no one was camped in the parking lot. Prices were reasonable and I even got a free coffee at "seniors discount" although I am not sure about that yet. Further pictures will have to wait. Once we finally got on the road the snow was so bad that there were accidents at most bridges when people for whatever reason put their brakes on as soon as they saw snow and lost control...no major injuries from the looks of things. Be glad they don't live in Michigan. We arrived two minutes past closing at our campground in Greensboro but someone waited for us and the temperature is above freezing ....first time since leaving. As above, Auspicious beginnings!
