After being rained out yesterday, I mean pouring rain, 1 - 2 inches and strong winds we were well rested and eager to be on our way to cross the South Carolina border. That makes 5 states and Wash DC that we have traveled through. As we were ready to depart we met a female tourer heading in our direction. She was from Massachusettes and traveling alone, camping and hoteling it. We shared some over the road stories and left at our own paces. We headed south from Carolina Beach heading to the Cape Fear Ferry passing through Kure. Here the homes were painted in brilliant colors making us feel like we were in Curasao. As we rode along I noticed a lot of fishermen on a pier. It was 8:15 a. m. Why werent they working. As we continued we saw a motor home lettered for the Wounded Warrior Project and thinking they were doing a local charity. off again. The roads were pretty much the same as we have been on. Busy highway, back roads, flat, construction zones, etc. We stopped at a Deli with the name in neon Worms and coffee. I prefer donuts with my coffee. Todays lunch was at Hardees. Better than McDonalds and tired of Subway. Good choice. We continued on and passed at least 5 golf courses and beautiful homes surrounding them. This particular course had a nice sized pond on it and I noticed the head of an Alligator sticking out of the water near the shore line. You know we had to get a picture of our 1st sighting of an Alligator. We continued through Calabash and soon crossed over to South Carolina. Our trek for the day was almost over. We reached Little River about 4 miles from the border. It was a great day. We covered 58.4 miles and have 1067.9 miles in total. Our ferry trip was 4 miles which is not included in our total.
