Hi all, just a quick update:
We have been traveling through North Carolina and enjoying the state. After seeing Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh, we stop at Washington, NC. This is a little town on an estuary with a marina and long boardwalk. It's great to be on the water again. We haven't seen the ocean since we turned inland in New Brunswick, Canada. Again we have a sparkling, sunny day as we have often had on our trip. We then find a nice, large, very well maintained campground near-by. Seen below in the picture - we find a nice site on a pond where there is lots of bird life. Here is a large heron we see.
After leaving Washington we head for the Outer Banks. It's great to see the ocean again and it brings back memories of the beautiful Canada Maritimes. We find a Kitty Hawk campground on the beach and Gwen spends the day playing on the beach with me and then Neal while Phil is still wary of the beach. We move on to find an ideal campground on the water in Cape Hatteris. The pictures below show the boardwalk and beach of our campground. We were planning to stay a while and then take the Ferry back over to the mainland but our plans changed with the appearance of Hurricane Sandy on the weather maps. We head inland. The last two pictures show the beach the day we leave for higher ground. Stay safe everyone!
