The wind blew me out of the campground about 9:00am this morning. I knew that I had three tall bridges with crosswinds to cross to get out of The Outer Banks. I chose not to dump my water tank and I took on some water in my holding tank to give me a little extra weight.
Originally I had intended to go home on I-64 but the weather up there changed my mind. Now I think I am going home on I-40 but the forecast for most of North Carolina and Tennessee along I-40 are calling for rain and/or snow showers tomorrow. So I decided to pull off and wait for the weather to clear.
I drove about 240 miles to Selma, NC where I am staying a couple of nights at a campground right off I-95. Three miles down the highway is a very nice outlet mall and about twenty different places to eat. Tomorrow I will do some laundry and visit the outlet mall to fill my day.
I am watching “Dancing With The Stars” as I write this. My antenna is pulling in a lot of channels here. I was not able to watch it last week.

Good idea about the tanks. Don’t know what I would do with a teardrop-fill it full of sand?? LOL
First Pictures with houses looks like they have really been blasted with the sand.
That area where the houses are is an area that they constantly have issues with wind and water damage. http://outerbanksvoice.com/2013/03/19/governor-declares-state-of-emergency-for-n-c-12/
Some of this looks familiar. A few years ago, our Disaster Relief team worked in Elizabeth City, NC. We spent one afternoon in the Outer Banks, playing tourists. Sounds like you’re getting anxious to get home,
I am ready…I feel like I have seen what I intended to see and after 50 days I am ready to be home.
