Cousins and Kitty Hawk…
We left my cousin’s house in Graham, NC this morning about 10:45 am. We had a great time and wish we could have stayed a little longer, but we’re fast running out of days before meeting the kids in New York on July 18th.
Before we left this morning, I noticed one new problem and now that we’re parked here in Shiloh, NC, I have two problems.
This morning I noticed water was leaking out from behind the door where the water heater resides. Opening the door showed that the T&P valve was leaking slightly.
So far, I’m not sure if the valve itself is leaking, or the thermostat is letting the heater run too hot. I’ll start looking at it tomorrow.
And then after we got here, I tried to lower the hydraulic levelers, but they won’t…lower or level, that is.
It’s not giving me any warning messages or error lights. It just won’t work.
More fun!
After a 5 1/4 hour trip that included a 1/2 hour delay in Raleigh for a traffic accident, we pulled into our site at North River Campground here in Shiloh, NC.
It’s a very nice park with wide, long sites and nice scenery.
It’s kind of hard to see from this picture but Mister is already camped out under the picnic table.

Tomorrow we plan to head over to the Outer Banks to visit Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hill where the Wright Brothers first flew.
After that we’ll head north to Virginia Beach, VA to visit the Military Aviation Museum. Next comes a stopover at a local Sam’s Club for new ‘stuff’ and then dinner at El Pollo Loco, a favorite of ours from California last year.
More tomorrow…
Flamingos, and Kitties, and Moose, Oh My!
Tomorrow we’re going to head another 235 miles east to Shiloh, NC. This will put us about half way between Kill Devil Hills to the south, where the Wright brothers first flew, and Virginia Beach, where we want to visit the Military Aviation Museum.
I did have a chance while we’re here to put out most of our yard animal collection.

Jan thinks this is all of them, but I think we have one or two more stuck away somewhere. I’ll have to keep looking.
