A very pretty sunset at Cape Hatteras, but fewer amenities than we (ok, in particular B, but others are also affected :) ) were used to. The water heater has gone non-op even after replacing teh bypass, which makes for less fun in the AM then would otherwise be had.
Continued north from Cape Hatteras, stopped at Roanoake Is., and Kitty Hawk (Write Bros' famous flight). Then, on to the main land, in an attempt to "High Tail" it out. High Tailing ended up taking a very long time, and between mis-communications, getting lost and having to pull out the GPS, and "powers that be" sort of events, all local hotels were sold out, and the camp ground that we got was way out in the boonies. Upon finally getting there, we learned that the showers in the RV section were "being worked on" which would mean a walk through the brambles, which was vetoed, and they still wanted $36. Ok, abort on camping, and "surely there must be somewhere with a hotel" on the night before B's presentation. Two hours later, and after more than a dozen phone calls, and hotel stops, we found our selves at our first Walmart parking lot for a free nights "roughing it".
In homage to the mart, I went in to buy some water (which we were out of after a few days without connections), and on the way out, discovered that we had inadvertently also parked across from the Mecca of RV's - camping world... At least tomorrow would yields stuff to finally repair the water heater!
