Day 2

Breakfast at Camp LeJeune, lunch at Kitty Hawk and supper at Williamsburg. For those of you that noticed a one day difference in our departure date and our itinerary, we left on Monday instead of Sunday because Camp LeJeune was full for the holiday weekend. Today was a fairly long, slow day. We Left LeJeune at 0730 and wandered around route 17 through New Bern and Manteo to the Outer Banks. We then headed north on 158 through Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk. In Kill Devil Hills I spotted the memorial to the Wright Brothers off to the left on top of a hill. At the next light, just south of the memorial, I turned left at a traffic light and a major intersection. I should have waited one more light. We drove at least five miles through winding (15 mph) roads in waterfront housing until we came to a sign that said, “Road ends 500 feet.” I had to unhook the Jeep, turn both vehicles around, and hook up again. We made it back to 158, turned north and turned left at the next light and entered the park. It was free with our Golden Eagle pass. All you seniors need one. It lets you into all national parks for free for life. We’ll get some mileage out of ours this summer.
From there, after lunch, we continued north and had no problem with the tunnel under the harbor. We had turned off the propane, but no one checked. It was no problem turning off the propane, because the fridge still doesn’t want to run on propane. I ran the generator all day. It was OK because, after lunch I ran the roof A/C too. The computer said I still got 8 mpg for the day. The camp site at the Cheatham Annex, a Navy Famcamp, did not allow satellite coverage, but they did have cable so Mom is OK. I promise to post some pictures soon.
