Washington, North Carolina
The town was formed in 1776 on land donated by Col. James Bowman. It is described as being located on the Inner Banks and is the state's oldest town. The town was named after George Washington and is on the Pamlico River (which happens to run thru our campground). The town was attacked during the civil war and an attorney's office on Water St still contains a canon ball shot from a confederate ship on the Tar River during the unions occupation of the town. Union soliders evacuated the town after the intense shelling, joining the confederate troops in burning most of the buildings as both armies retreated. Leaving early tomorrow and will one night over in Ripplin Waters, TN.

Dinner Out
As you can see we had dinnr at Hog Heavern (sorry Christina) but we had to stay away from the e-coli laden veggies that are killing people in Europe, i know we're not in Europe but this was some good bbq pulled pork eating with hush puppies. the shirt only cost $5...go figure. Temps have fallen 15 degrees so its been very nice. NJ starts her teaching gig monday and finishes up tue so we will be on our way toward Arkansas wed morning. Its more than what we like to travel in a day so will stay over in thge Knoxville, TN area before going on to Hardy. i am hearing that some of you are having trouble posting comments, if so can you let me know via email.

Maine Sign
couple new pics from the park we're in. noticed that someone stole the "open for business sign" in Maine. I forgot to tell my Maine friends that when we drove into Virginia the same sign was there, so we now know that LaPage didn't dream that one up, he stole it from Virginia, not surprising since he doesn't seen to have any original ideas anyway, excepty when it comes to taking down art. Been very hot here, up to 100 yesterday. not much to do in the historic sense he. will be sending some postcards today to the usual suspects.
