WILMINGTON, NC.  It was a relatively short drive to the Wilmington KOA today.  This campground is in much better condition than the New Bern KOA that we just left, likely due to its being farther from the water and a few feet higher in elevation.  It has been overcast all day and started raining shortly after we got set up here.

We have now traveled 10,769.5 miles since July 16 when we began this year's trip.  We shall arrive at our primary home in St Augustine on November 16, exactly four months from our departure.  We continue to be quite content in our home on wheels, but it is time to return to our primary residence.  Betty is eager to take a long tub bath.  Stretching out on our king-sized bed again will be wonderful.  I need to check on the condition of everything inside and out of the house.  I also need to catch up on some bookkeeping, which I find difficult to do in any detail on the road.

We also want to get back to our church and friends there.  It is a sad thing to look for a good place to worship on the road on any given Lord's Day.  We also need to visit our primary care physician and dentist to continue with periodic care that was interrupted while traveling. 

I hope to look back over four months of blog entries and do some summarizing and draw some conclusions about lessons learned.   The memories that presently reside in my mind are centered on the most recent activities, mostly in the Southeast states of Virginia and Maryland.  The Northwest, Midwest, and Northeast  seem very distant now, though Vermont and Maine still resonate well.

Weather permitting, tomorrow we shall visit the Airlie Gardens.
