Thought I would post another update on the trip!
It took us a day to get off of Hatteras Island (Saturday),between both ferry's, we ended up driving from cedar island after dark, which was a test in itself. The roads have no street lights and as you may know, it is all winding roads. We did have a bit of low road fog across the wildlife refuge which set my stress level at a all new high.....finally made it to Morehead around 10:15 Saturday night and stayed the night in the wallmart parking lot.
Today was not a good day, ran into construction in Wilmington NC, they had the 17 southbound entrance to the freeway closed and of course had no detour signs so we had to seek help from a local to get around the mess to connect back up with 17 south, then we over shot our exit to myrtle beach state park campground by 45 miles because we were not paying attention.....LOL.
We pulled into Myrtle beach campground about 7:00 last and will be hitting the road early this morning to get to the interstate. I think at this point I have had enough of seeing the coast and driving through these small ocean towns as the stop and go has run it's course.
We finally filled up today in Jacksonville, she took 98 gallons. Diesel prices have been from 401 to 409 a gallon in NC ans SC, we payed 403 at exxon.
Other than that, the bus is running fine.....we are the ones running out of steam
