We are now in Wilmington NC. This is another shore location now in North Carolina. Our host campsite is the Wilmington Elks. They have a great site with electric and water behind the lodge. Today we plan to visit the WWII battleship North Carolina. I'm excited as I love history. Lynda is along for the ride and hopes to get to the historic section of town. She is not as thrilled with the tour of the ship as I am but understands my feelings. I'm grateful for her tolerance. Beautiful sunny warm weather today. We filled up with propane yesterday knowing it will get cooler as we head north. Charlie loves the huge back yard the Elks have here but a skunk almost got him this morning. We could smell a bit on him. Glad it wasn't a full shot.
Did the tour of the battleship and the historic part of the city and it was great. Lynda informed me after reading what I wrote above that she did want to see the ship and liked things like that. Sorry love. It was amazing to me how large the ship was and how it was living in it for the sailors. It was a reunion day and we met many of the original crew. Check out our pictures at the photo link and you will see one and lots of photos of the ship. After we left the North Carolina we headed for the historic district of Wilmington and walked along the old buildings and gardens that were nice. Tomorrow we head to the town Cedar Island where we will stay one night at a campground then take the ferry over to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Look forward to that. We most likely won't have internet there as we are staying in a Federal campsite with no hook ups. Here we are getting a neighborhood wireless set up with our Hawkins antenna. Good ole Awkins.
