 The
day started off with Doc trying to hop a train to Las Vegas in the hopes of
finding some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. AJ trailed closely behind Doc as Abel
doesn’t allow anything in his FABULOUS NEW TRUCK other than live bodies---no
food, no liquids, no ice, no pens, no legs, and no wild animals (Pig 3
excluded). |
 AJ and Doc prepare for the day’s ride to the booming metropolis of Amboy, California. Doc perks up when Abel tells him that Amboy is the home of the original Dunkin’ Donuts and is later disappointed to learn that it was a cruel fabrication. Abel is overheard laughing his best evil villain laugh. |
 Still believing that a hot cup o’ joe awaits him only a few miles ahead, Doc hammers down and moves at the speed of sloth. |
 AJ challenges Doc to a “last one to get to the Dunkin’ Donuts has to drink Starbucks for the rest of the trip” race and speeds ahead only after she’s tied a very short fishing line from his bike to the truck. Doc is heard yelling, “Shuckie-durn! I feel like I’m pullin’ a truck. It must be the wind.” AJ giggles with glee. |
 Tired of listening to the Princess and Doc arguing about if sweet tea or Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is the most southern drink, Abel sets off on his own in search of the elusive jackalope that AJ keeps talking about. |
 Many people make a pilgrimage every year to pay homage to the Tree of Holy Lost Soles that is located at the site of the Shrine of AJ’s Lost Elbow Skin in memory of the skin that AJ sacrificed in 2006 on Route 66. As you can see, travelers give an offering of their shoes in reverence of AJ and her stumps.

 AJ is overheard exclaiming, “Ewwwwwwwww yall, whose foot stinks?” |
  |
|
Wanting to leave their mark (or a foot) at the Tree of Holy Lost Soles, the
AAA crew signs and dates a shoeless pasty-white
prosthetic foot, kisses that sucker goodbye, and tosses it into the shrine.
Abel is overheard hatching a plan to commandeer a pair of Joe’s mismatched
shoes to add to the shrine upon their return in 2010.
|
Seeing this stretch of road brought a tear to Abel’s eyes. He fondly remembered that Joe likes to call torturous uphill climbs an optical illusion and tries to get people to cycle them anyway. I guess Abel is taller AND smarter than Joe after all.
