Nite

Last Night's Excitement

About two thirty in the morning in the boat ramp parking lot at the end of
Lake Sutton road,which is a long rough dirt road, a car went by the truck.
In a few minutes I heard the car approach the truck and stop behind it.

The truck shook and it was apparent someone was on the back porch. Pepe
sprung to life, reading himself and finding his direction in amazing quick
time, just moments. Then there was a knock at the door.

I couldn't hear everything but someone was telling me they had a flat tire.
Not being able to see out the back door I didn't open it but rather talked
through it. More discussion came about and I offered to call them help. I
got a mom's phone number and called her to tell her that her kids were
stuck at the end of a long bumpy road with a flat tire.

After confirming what was going on I opened the door, with pepe at hand.
It was a 16 year old kid that was indeed in trouble. I could see the flat
tire on the car. He thanked me and I confirmed I was able to reach his
mom. I bet he had a long night.

A little while later I heard what I assume was a wrecker come pick up the
car.

Sometimes I guess people just need a little help.

On the beach at Ft Fisher

This is as far south as you can drive. South of here is Bald Head Island
and the Bald Head Island Nature Preserve. The inlet is now filled in so it
appears this is all one island now.

Sutton Lake

Our nite spot Friday

At Sutton Lake.

Mike Ponders the ocean

This is on the beach at Ft Fisher, NC. The truck did very good on the sand.

Dinner spot

Here is our dinner spot. I'm not sure if we will try to stay the night
here or not.

The rain finally went away, sun came out and it warmed up nicely. Then,
just a few minutes ago it started raining again.

For dinner we are having Alabama Truck Stop Stew.

Lunchtime

Not anything going on at Sutton Lake except fishing. We stopped by the
battleship and did a quick look for birds but didn't find anything major.
However, we did find a great camping spot onthe Cape Fear. We'll be back
to that spot.

We are at Greenfield Lake now making lunch. This Lake is full of birds,
mostly ducks but plenty of woods birds as well. We just found a black and
white warbler before we stopped.

For lunch we are having potato soup and chicken salad sandwiches. By the
end of lunch the drizze should be finished.

Up

We are up and I've had breakfast. It is raining this morning so we slept a
while.

Wait until you hear the exciting story about last nite!

Arrival

We arrived at Sutton Lake just a few minutes ago. We should've turned the
heat on earlier as it was 33 degrees inside. We are going to have to wait
for it to warm up before bedtime.

Back in port

We are back in port. It looks like we might have winter this year. I'm not so happy about that.

Here is our updated travel map. We've traveled through all these states with the truck camper. Does this make the US seem huge to you?

Lunch spot

This is out lunch spot on Lewis Heritage Nature Preserve.

Only 31 degrees so far today with a breeze so it is chilly.

Not much bird activity either...

Harbor view

Mornin

Another good nights rest. The sun is coming up on the harbor. I wonder
what birds we will discover today?
