Croatan National Forest
Cedar Point, NC
This is one of our favorite places because it’s close to the beach, only 4 miles from a public oceanfront park in Emerald Isle, and there is so much water centered activities to enjoy here. We arrived Tuesday afternoon and the camphost, Julie met us as we pulled in. She told us that we timed it just right because they were going to start using a reservation system starting today (Wed). It had always been a first come, first served system before. We paid for our two weeks, and we have a nice site next to a water spigot. My brother and SiL, Doug and Carla, are planning to camp here this weekend. I hope they can get the site beside us but any site will be nice. Here’s our spot, site #12.
Since we are planning to be here a while, we’ve set up a little more stuff than usual. This site has a nice open lawn area behind it so we got out our ladderball game and practiced a bit. It’s a lot like horseshoes. Boy are we rusty.
My sister and BiL, Virginia and David, live kinda close by in New Bern and they are planning to come over for the day on Saturday. In the meantime, we plan to relax and enjoy each day of our life’s journey by finding beauty in the ordinary.
