Shiloh, NC

Small lake at North River Campground

My guess is no one knows where Shiloh, NC is. It's in the north east corner of North Carolina. We've been here for four days before we head down to the Outer Banks for our Excel rally. If a person wants peace, quiet and pretty scenery, this is a good campground to stay. It's out in the country, by a small lake, surrounded by woods.

While we were still in Myrtle Beach, we went on a "Sun Cruise". It's a gambling ship and it's a day cruise. We went with our friends, Ralph and Cheryl. The boat is not great but the day was beautiful and we managed to leave some of our retirement funds on it. Maybe they'll put it to good use and do some improvements!

Mother's Day was very quiet and pleasant. Unfortunately, there is no phone connectivity here for us, so Donna's girls weren't able to call and personally talk to her, but Beth sent emails from her and Julia and Sarah called and left messages. Tom was very sweet all day - as he always is, of course! Since we stayed home all day (at Donna's request) on Monday Tom took me to Elizabeth City to Cypress Grill for a special lunch. We spent the afternoon "in town" and stocked up on groceries for our trip to the Outer Banks.

Sunday evening was a little exciting as we had a tornado warning. We decided to take the safe route and went to the clubhouse until the worst was over. All we had was rain and wind, but we were glad we took the precaution.

This morning we're headed for the Outer Banks until either Sunday or Monday. There will be about 20 rigs there and it should be fun to meet other Excel owners and reconnect with the friends we've already made. Off to new adventures!
