On Friday Paul cooked us up a hearty breakfast and we took our time packing up at Oregon Inlet. We set out for our next stop, Kiptopeke State Park in Virginia. It is only about 130 miles, 2.5 hours but we planned to make a few stops for groceries, fuel, etc.
After stopping at the Food Lion for essentials, we made a stop at a roadside farmers market for veggies and I got an old fashioned cream soda...yummy.
Not quite twins.
Our route takes us via the 18 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel, it was built in 1984 and is an engineering marvel. It cost $23 for my RV.
Traffic was light.
Going Under...CBBT has two tunnels, each over a mile long.
We arrived at Kiptopeke State Park around 14:30 and had a late lunch.
Kiptopeke is a nice campground, very open with many sites but remarkably quiet.
When we unloaded the bikes in Oregon Inlet, June's rear tire was flat, I pumped it up and it almost immediately went flat again. I forgot to get a patch kit on our way so I set out on the Scooter to find one. It was not that easy but I got it and some other stuff (booze) we needed, but it was a 40 mile scooter ride with stops at 4 different stores. At the NAPA place they had huge dogs behind the counter, I picked up a rubber patch put it on the counter, turned my back and one of the huge dogs took it....pretty funny.
While I was away, June and Lisa walked and Paul biked.
I got back and fixed June's tire just in time to go to the boardwalk and catch the sunset.
The girls beat us there, June was in such a hurry she took off before I hooked up the brakes on her bike....
We had fun taking too many pictures.
It just kept getting better and better, it was beautiful.
We returned to camp and relaxed before cooking dinner, it was an easy travel day.
Today we don't really have a plan but I am sure it will be a good day.
Another pretty day/drive, the bridge/tunnel is fascinating. There are some nasty “fruit flies” at this campground but they are around Paul and Lisa’s camper not ours…..many theories.
