Kitty Hawk to Home - last day

Today, Thursday, June 14, is the last day of the North Carolina Border Tour.  We are all wishing we did not have to say goodbye.  It's been a great time traveling together.

Today's weather was very windy as you can see from the picture of the Atlantic Ocean from our hotel room.  We traveled with our tops up as it looked like it would rain.  It did not rain, as it turned out, but there were a few sprinkles on the windscreen a couple of times.

Of the group that went to Kitty Hawk, the first to leave was Trip and Georgia at 8am.  They traveled north and made it home to New Jersey the same day.  Next, Dick, Beth, Steve, and Paula left at 9am.  They traveled south down Hwy 12 to Hattaras and Oracoke to take the ferry to the North Carolina mainland.  Dick and Beth then traveled home while Steve and Paula continued their journey to states further south.

The last group left about 9:30am to continue the NC Border Tour by traveling Hwy 158 from the hotel. We all stopped at Diggers just to see the monster trucks and the shiny diner.

Cars: Dennis, PJ, Gary, Ron, Paul

Then PJ left the group to head north to Virginia.  The rest of us drove north around Elizabeth City to Murfreesboro where we had lunch.  Then Gary, Wayburn, Dennis and Pat split to head home. Ron and Paul and the truck with Jordan driving headed home to Rolesville.  We waved goodbye as the Paul, Kimi and Jordan continued south to Raleigh to home.  We all had a safe trip home.

On the final leg home we all, those with CB's, were serenaded by Dennis & Pat.  It was a lively tune that had all of us smiling and LOL.  Pat and Dennis wrote the words to the tune of "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show fame.  At the monthly MG breakfast on Saturday, a group of us serenaded the gang with "Cover of the Road and Track."  Next time you see Dennis & Pat ask them to serenade you!!!


STATS:  Drove 213 miles on Day #11.  Total Tour Miles = 1,728 for Ron and Pat.
