We do take circuitous routes! After a farewell breakfast and saying bye to lots of friends, we headed off across the Bay Bridge Tunnel to High Point NC. We had purchased a wireless Tadi Brothers rear view camera. Love the screen which is a clamp on to the regular rear view mirror but there was too much interference for the wireless to work well. The original camera which attaches to the license plate was getting water in it. Tadi Brothers sent us replacement parts for everything but the mirror. Joe, Lee, Roy and others worked at figuring out where the interference was from to no avail. Mike O from Xtreme Campers said he could hard wire the camera he originally put on the back of the Chalet to the new mirror. So off we go through farm and field to NC. Stayed overnight in Mike's lot (thanks again Mike). This morning, he ran the wire and the thing works like a LCD TV. sharp clear, large field of vision and we feel a lot safer now.
We decided to just head west and not spend a lot of time along the way. The first goal is Albuquerque, NM. From there we will start the real wandering and as the heat increases move northward. We've been enjoying the flowering trees, green grass and signs of spring that haven't even started at home. Tonight's supper was oyster stew. Here we camped in Almond, NC in the Nantahala National Forest along a gently flowing brook eating oysters from Chincoteague VA. Go figure.
