Lesson on the road to Duck
Some times we have the opportunity to learn something in the most unexpected circumstances. Here's my lesson on the road to Duck.
The road at the south end of Duck is undergoing some major construction work. This stretch is now gravel - dusty and bumpy. Traffic now slows to a crawl going through the construction zone. If you've been to Duck or Corolla on the Outer Banks, you know this road is the only road for travel in this area.
Before Sunday school this past weekend we had a big discussion about the inconvenience and the snail pace causing traffic backups. Then Paul Keller told his story about living and driving on a farm. Don't you know to listen when you get the opportunity to hear sensible, common sense wisdom!
Instead of driving at 5 MPH and hitting every tiny bump and rut, drive at the speed limit or slightly under. The ride will actually be smoother. I tried it at the 25 MPH speed limit, and it really works!
Now that doesn't mean we should be reckless and drive faster than we should. It means try this at a practical speed and amaze yourself with a smoother ride.
I hope my lesson on the road to Duck will make your ride smoother. No construction nearby? Perhaps this is your excuse to come to the Outer Banks and Duck this fall. The weather here is perfect.
