One of those days!!!!!

Currently in Wilmington North Carolina, 8366 miles into the trip.

It has been "one of those days"! The day started with a 15 mile ride to get to Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base where my route had me riding 20 miles through the base. Upon arriving at the entrance I was informed that it is no longer possible to ride through the base. After back-tracking and determining an alternative route, I was able to get to Wilmington at about 1:00 pm.

Yesterday my camera stopped working which is no surprise since it has been dropped numerous times and run over by a car last week(don't ask how or why). Luckily, Wilmington is a larger city and I was able to find a new camera at Best Buy. Since I have been having trouble connecting to the internet, I decided to have the Best Buy Geek Squad check out my PC. They couldn't figure it out so they sent me to another computer company who sent me back to Best Buy. After six hours with computer geeks, I now have a new PC! I guess 8300 miles of potholes, bumps, ruts, construction and accidents finally got to my electronic gear!!!!!!!

So now I have a new camera and computer; however, the outside service that I am using to update my blog doesn't seem to be able to accept posting new pictures so no new photos until I figure out what is going on.

Riding the Outer Banks has been fantastic. I have meet some great people, including two riders yesterday who are riding to Florida. The weather has been great, the seafood outstanding and the beaches all but deserted!!!

Tomorrow I head South and expect to visit Charleston and Savannah before the week is over.
