Ocracoke Island

(Posted by Lynda) We took the ferry from Cedar Island to Ocracoke Island.  It was a perfect day - warm, sunny, and not too much wind.  Since no one could park next to us (being too wide) we took out our chairs and sat at the side of the motor home as if we were in a campground. Lots of people stopped to chat and EVERYONE loved our Charlie.  We even arranged a marriage for him. One couple, whose daughter breeds goldens asked if we would be interested in having him mated!  She took a picture of him and our address.  Who knows?  I would love to have a baby from him.  He is the sweetest dog, even if he is a little wild.  Just wonder if he would know what to do!!

After arriving at Ocracoke we headed to a federal campground there.  We had booked two nights.  However, it was so mosquito-ridden that after one day there, being more or less confined to quarters, and waking up to pouring rain the next day, we decided to leave and head to Hatteras.  We had a short ferry crossing over to Hatteras, also nice and calm and just 40 minutes. We stayed at Ocean Waves campground, a place we had stayed before.  It was great having internet again - we are indeed internet junkies!  Wanted to stay another night, but unfortunately our site was booked and we would have had to move, so we decided to go to another federal campground.  Since David is now 62 he can get the Golden Age pass which means that we can stay in federal campgrounds for half price.  Hopefully we will have many opportunities to take advantage of this.
