TRAVELIN' ON ~ IN EAST NC


~~~
At times, strange vehicles come down the tracks
near Ahoskie


~~~
Other times, strange vehicles come down the street
Maggie, Fred and Cricket


~~~
And mishaps will happen on the road


~~~
At times in the winter, you can't get to the road


~~~
Sometimes, in Bertie, you have to float down the road


~~~
And sometimes you just have to stay home and wash clothes
