The weather here at Lejeune has been great. We have hit the beach every day. The only hitch was some wind that cooled things off but the sun has been warm enough to sustain us. We have done some bike riding and walking around the campground and have enjoyed watching the many, many boats heading north through the inland waterway. We had thought that the waterway was not active at night and maybe the drawbridge was not even manned but that is not the case. Long, narrow barges pushed or pulled by brightly lit tug boats make thier way through the intracoastal during the night as I saw when I was up on night having a cup of tea when I could not sleep.
Some of the sounds of freedom at Camp Lejeune pictured as we drove from the campground.
We enjoyed our stay at Huntington State Park as well. We chose to drive the coastal route, mostly Route 17, beacause of the great improvements that have been made to this road. Most of it is now a four lane with a posted speed of 55-65mph. great for traveling and a lot less stressful...better on the gas tank as well. We're going to stay with the coastal route and make our way up to Sea Mist Campground at the Dam Neck Annex of Oceana NAS in Virginia Beach.
Friends waving goodbye at Huntington State Park.
