Record of the day's ride: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/226265692
I was again unable to reach the local Enterprise on the phone. In a chat with Enterprise I was told the Waynesville location was open, but when I rode there to see for myself it was closed, with the same sign on the door I had seen Saturday. The lot was still full of cars.
My friend Jim with with whom I plan to spend a night in Blacksburg told me there’s a train from Roanoke to Washington, D.C. So my plan now is to drop the rental car near Blacksburg and have Jim drive me to Roanoke and then take the train.
I had dinner in the home of Frank and Gerri, the couple with whom I had dinner at the Mexican restaurant the previous night. It was fun to be part of a family dinner that included four generations.
There was still no cable service, but I remembered I could watch Netflix on my phone because I have cell service. I watched two episodes of The Night Agent, a series I started watching in a previous hotel.
