Back to the Refuge on Roanoke

Since the weather was sunny but just a little bit cooler and we had a little time before check-out, we went for a walk this morning.  We walked down to the Graveyard of the Atlantic museum and then back by the ferry;.  At this time of day, there were not many cars lined up to go to the ferry.


We walked around the main road through Hatteras, NC 12, and then back down Eagle Pass Road to the campground.  These purple petunia-looking flowers were blooming along the side of the road.


We also walked past some of the many canals in Hatteras.


The dock in this picture backs up to the campground where we are staying.


After returning to the motorhome, we packed up and got ready to leave and said good-bye to Charlie and Karen.  Hope we see you again in Williamsburg or in Florida sometime!  :)

After getting the Honda hooked up, we drove back up NC12.  When we traveled through the towns, we could tell the traffic heading south was beginning to increase with more and more people coming down for summer vacations.  But when we hit the 55 mph sections of road, it became more deserted again.


As we approached Avon, we had already decided that if there was room for us to park the motorhome and the car, we would go to Burger Burger one more time.  Happy Father's Day, Chuck!  :)


And the burgers were just as good today as they were on Friday and Saturday.  :)

After leaving Burger Burger, we traveled further north on NC 12 and crossed back over the long bridge from Hatteras Island.


We drove back to the Refuge at Roanoke Island which is where we had stayed prior to going to Hatteras.  We got our same site and plan on enjoying a few more days in Wanchese before heading up towards Williamsburg.


We talked for about an hour with the couple next to us from New Hampshire and then walked around to the dock and talked with this nice lady who was fishing.


Chuck's NC fishing license doesn't expire for 2 more days and I think he is going to try to catch a fish out of this lake too.  :)


After we walked back to the camper, I started working on the blog and uploading pictures when I looked out and spotted another beautiful sunset in the making.




We're glad we came back here for a few days!  :)
