(Note: The shirts are the same color with the same logo as the May 2023 shirts above - but they are actually newer shirts with a list of all the Segway tours the two RV Gypsies have taken up until this point in time. The names cover the front and part of the back. So there is room on the back to list this tour and future Segway tours.

Below: The Actual Segway Tour, starting with the May 2022 photos which was actually the 30th time the two RV Gypsies have taken a Segway tour, but the first time here in Winston-Salem. The "art" shown below are actually tombstones for the husband and wife founders of the college.

This was the The two RV Gypsies 36th Segway tour ever (and third time with this same Segway company).

Below: There were Lots of Water Towers in the area. The two RV Gypsies photographed them because their great-grandchildren love water towers for some reason. Karen Duquette is making a special photo book of water towers for her two great-grandchildren.

Below: May 10, 2023 - The two RV Gypsies' 35th Segway tour and the second time with this same Segway tour company. The tour guide, Diana, somehow took the photo on the right by aiming the camera over her shoulder as she was riding in front of the two RV Gypsies. Great aim, Diana!

Below: The two RV Gypsies love Freewheeling time, as it is the best part of Segway tours (although not necessarily offered on every tour here, there or anywhere). But it was especially the only thing that made this tour worth the money in May 2023. Because at the beginning of this tour in May 2023, Karen Duquette had the blue Segway with yellow ducks on it. It was so slow, that Karen got bored part-way through the tour. So she asked the guide to go a bit faster. But when she did, Karen could not go any faster and the guide was quite a bit ahead of Karen before she turned around to check on the two RV Gypsies. When Karen caught up with the guide, she was very upset because she just was NOT having any fun. So they went back to the Segway office and Karen got a different Segway.

But as they rolled along, Karen soon realized that this second Segway was just as slow and still could not keep up with the guide. Of course, the two RV Gypsies realize that all Segways on tours have a delimiter on them so the customer can only go a certain speed. But because this was Karen's 35th Segway tour, Karen knew this just was not right.

At this point, Lee Duquette, being the gentleman and caring person that he is, insisted that they trade Segways. (Karen only agreed because it would prove if it was her or the two Segways that were not up to par). And of course, Karen then discovered that she could ride at a decent pace and keep up with the guide, but Lee could not. So Karen really enjoyed the freewheeling time when she could go at a much better speed. Lee tried racing her and was left far behind. Thank you Lee for saving the day!

NOTE: In November 2023, there was NO problem with the Segways. The Guides were wonderful on all three trips.

Below: Lee Duquette usually rides his Segway behind Karen Duquette and he snaps a few photos. These photos show the back of Karen Duquette's Segway shirt. Of course the list begins on the front of the shirt, but since not all of the tours can fit on the front, they continue down the back of the shirt. There is still room for more Segway tours to be on the back. As stated above, this was Segway tour #36 for the two RV Gypsies. (The full lists includes several in Canada and Alaska, plus many other USA states of course)
