Catch Up Entry

 

Just to catch you all up a bit, we left Beverly Friday the 8th.  From there we went to the Mohegan Sun Casino in Conn. to meet up with old friends, Ginny and Art.  They have a lovely new motorhome and we are planning on traveling with them to Georgia where they live. We made a donation to the casino and had a good reunion dinner with friends, can't beat that.

 

Saturday, we traveled to Kutztown, Pa.  and went to a good  farmers market.  The only trouble, it was closing an hour after we got there, but we were able to buy a few things.   That evening we had dinner in a Pennsylvania Dutch Hotel, named Haag's Hotel.  This is a family run restaurant.   Sunday, we cooked in and especially enjoyed Art's ribs and fresh beets, corn, and bread from the farmers market.  We decided to stay here 3 nights.  Monday we found an Italian restaurant that we had gone to before.  Very nice.

 

Tuesday and Wednesday in Virginia.

 

Thursday Sept. 14th.and 15th, We are staying in Williamsburg.   Art and Ginny have never been to Williamsburg and wanted to see it. I think we will pass or this and find other things to do, as we have been here before.

 

After having our steering line replace, the coach seems to be running well.  It always worries us with the extreme bumpy roads coming  and going from New England.   We can't stop thinking what is being loosened up that we can't see. 

 

This park which we are in is supposed to have Wi-Fi, but it so psoriatic, it isn't worth the trouble.

 

Saturday Sept.  16th     We have arrived at Camp Hatteras on the Outter Banks of N.
C.   The park itself is large, clean and windy.  The wind hasn't stopped since we got here, which means our  Direct TV is on and off every few minutes.  The free Wi-Fi is effected the same way.  You can't stay on line more than 2 minutes at a time.  I am writing this off line, in hope that I can put it in my journal later.

 

Sunday, still off line writing,  Hopes are fading now! LOL   Today we are going sight seeing.    Catch you later maybe. 

 

Monday......5PM    They fixed Wi-Fi!!   Yea   Now   until Thursday morning, I'll be trying to catch up with you all.   Today we went to the beach, right over the sand dunes where we are staying.  The waves were very strong, but beautiful.  We were told there was a strong undertow there, so we only went into the water up to our knees.  When coming out of the water, it was very difficult to stay on your feet with the pull of the waves. 

 

Tuesday we checked out the 208 feet tall Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.   If your up to it, you can climb the 268 steps for a spectacular view of the national seashore.

 

We also made a stop at the Wright Brothers National Memorial.  This is a wonderful exhibit reminding us all about the first manned controlled aircraft.   Wilbur and Orville took turns trying out each flight.  The first one lasted only 12 seconds.   But for the first time, a manned heavier-than-air machine left the ground by it's own power.  This was 1903.  Now within two generations we have taken to the air for routine travel, seen an aircraft break the sound barrier, and watched a man walk on the moon.  "We've come a long way baby".
