Wednesday, April 17, North Carolina

We had planned on making an early departure, but Marcel met a fellow Nortel employee. By the time they finished reminiscing, we were delayed by an hour!
After fuelling up, we were on the road at 9:50 under sunny, 21C (70F) skies.

Bursts of colourful flower beds planted through North Carolina's Wildflower Program dot many highways and enhance the state's beauty.
The program is funded by the sale of personalized and specialized licence plates.











At 1:00, we pulled in to a rest area, but it was full so we kept going. It has warmed up to 28C (82.4F), so the A/C is on!

When we arrived at the RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads in Roanoke Rapids, NC, it was 30C (86F).
We have a very nice site, complete with a gazebo!









Since it was so hot & humid, we took advantage of the inviting pool to cool off with one last swim. Thunder was rumbling around and clouds were gathering, so rain is in the offing.


Sure enough, I just got back from showering when the rain started. It stopped after a short time and we were able to BBQ.
