5/29 Tuesday After a phone call this morning to Beaufort to see if a show we saw on TV was current news or from another year, we decided the extended stay in Wilmington, NC was off the agenda. Instead we headed into Fayetteville and will make a day trip to Wilmington when our friends catch up with us here. There area some things that we are sure they would enjoy seeing and doing, so we will find a dog sitter here and then make a full day trip over there. It is likely we will see what interests us most in one day.
The Lazy Acres campground is especially attractive. They have gone about the park attaching flowering baskets to the trees. Someone is doing a good job keeping these healthy, attractive and very colorful. It turns out that Eddie Montgomery is the driving force to get these plants out and cared for. I talked with him and told him how much of a difference these plants made.
In many ways we hated to leave the North Bay Shore campground because the people were so friendly. With the crowds from the weekend gone yesterday, it was very quiet in the park. Even with the crowds, everyone was on great behavior and noise was not an issue. Even when the septic system alarm sounded around 3:30 this morning, Fred could not apologize enough for disturbing our sleep and possibly making our drive today more difficult because we were likely tired before even leaving. Granny, Fred’s 89-year old aunt was also someone you enjoyed being around. She had more fun telling people this weekend that Fred said no 40’ coaches and Granny maintained it was a full 12” less, so it was okay to stay. She told Fred he could either let us stay at the park or she would put us up in her yard and we could plug into the power on the porch. We hope our travels will bring us back there sometime in the future.
