May 29 Shopping underwater

The weather is acting up here, thanks to something called subtropical depression Alberto or tropical subdepression Alberto or outright heavy rains interspersed with dreadfully humid outbreaks in between. It seems the water is either falling on us or being sucked out of our old, corpulent bodies, sometimes at the same time.
I am also having a dispute with my intestines which makes for some interesting car trips, particularly those with bathrooms with a distance between them exceeding 5 miles. So we took it easy today and drove over near to Elkin, a nearby town, and bought groceries and used their dunny and then went to get a liquor re-supply at the local package store. Liquor sales in North Carolina only take place at state liquor stores, like in Oregon. Prices are high but not as outlandish as in Washington state. We got fuel and used the growler again before turning toward home.
After shopping, we returned to our camp spot at Stone Mountain SP and took the remainder of the day off.
