North Carolina

March 13 (Friday)

We arrived in Wilson, NC today. Wilson is about 5o miles from Jimmy and Lisa's home in Wake Forrest but is the closest RV park we could find. It's about a 45 minute drive to their house. Part of the way is on a 70mph freeway. The rest is on two lane country roads. We weren't met by the Blue Bird of happiness but rather a red Cardinal in the trees in front of the RV. It turned out to be the red bird of "storms warnings" as we have now sat through two tornado watches in nearby counties and lots of rain and wind, but no hail or lighting (knock-on-wood).


We have standing water all around the Horizon but there are enough high spots to make it back and forth to the car and the ground is mostly grass or gravel so not much mud to deal with (unless you're not watching where your walking).

A few year ago now Debbie admired the Coke case that Rich was using under his steps. He had picked it up in Mexico. The inter ribbing is better than the ones used in the US and are able to support the middle when stepped on. His next trip he picked one up for Debbie and apparently smuggled it across the border. As you can see it has been a life saver here. Thanks Rich!
