After three hours of driving around we finally realized that we had driven past the campsite about 4 times. Around 10:30 we pulled into the campsite and found a little spot. Thanks to the headlights we setup the tent in no time and decided to skip dinner and snore. The night got colder but other than that we had no animals, no bugs, actually no noise at all. It was calm and peaceful. I woke up without any back pain at all. It appears I can get used to this life which is great news.
I picked our route for the day. We’re taking the scenic routes 13 and 17 all the way down to Miami. Today’s my day to drive and it will be my first full day of driving ever. Cross your fingers.
We plan to stop at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and possibly visit Kitty Hawk and Wilmington. Drive through Myrtle Beach and end up in Charleston for the night. I might be underestimating the distance so we’ll see how the plan gets revised.
Btw, the emails are typed on my tiny blackberry which may explain the typos. Also I type most of the mail up during the day and update it until we go to bed which is around when I send the mail.
So it is now 8:17pm and I drove from 9:30 till now. No accidents and pretty okay driving. Tons of backache though. We’re on the way to Rodanthe Camp ground which is about 25 minutes south of Kitty Hawk. It looks like it will be another night of setting up tent in the dark.
