Kit and Carol on the Road

Diesel in Williamsburg was $2.59--the cheapest we've gotten since we left home. Here on the Outer Banks I saw diesel at $3.03. We were generally impressed with roads in Virginia. We have finally gotten off the interstates and onto back roads. Leaving our camp in Jamestown we took a FREE ferry across the river to Surry County--saved us tons of time. There were 3 security guards before we got on the ferry and one on the boat. Kit thinks Skagit County should get a grant from Homeland Security to pay for the 4th crewperson on the Guemes ferry. Saw lots of fields of cotton today.
And drove past the Dismal Swamp. We have come to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we have FREE wireless and a spot practically on the water with an awesome sunset view. It's just a quarter mile across the park (Camp Hatteras) to the Atlantic Ocean and a wonderful walking beach. Tomorrow we'll avoid being tourists and enjoy sun and sea.

On the way here today we stopped at the Wright Brothers Historical Park. (Our National Park Pass has been working hard for us). Did you know that the first flight was NOT in Kitty Hawk but in Kill Devil Hills. Kitty Hawk got to be famous because that was where the telegram was sent from. The best thing was seeing the markers where the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th flights ended. #4 was a big stride.
