Hello and welcome to part 18 of our journey through North Carolina.
As you travel the roadways of this great country one never knows what you will encounter including where you might be spending the night. Some of these times one can’t be choosy.
Well this is it for today. We hope you come back and see how the trip unfolds as we share more of the USA Through Our Eyes. Until then be safe.
I will! 🙂

Thank you “Terismyth”. We bet there were some terrific memories formed on your journey through Oregon with the family. There is something special that happens when on the road. The wildlife is interesting to note and be careful of for sure.

Interesting post. One of my favorite family memories was when we rented a motorhome and drove up through Oregon with the dog and kids. We came across the Trinity River where there were hundreds of frogs. And my son found a snake! We loved it.
Enjoyed seeing a black and white mom and dad and their baby ducklings were all different colors too! So cute.
Happy travels

This is so kind of you to say Clarissa. We truly feel blessed when we make connections with folks and conversations flow. We learn so much through interactions with others.

I’m convinced that you are a magnet for nature’s beauty and good people. I imagine your auras spreading out and the ducks and other animals saying, “Hey, they’re here. Let’s greet them!” and the people putting on their best smiles for you. Wonderful!

I loved the ducks! It’s so true 🙂 That’s one of the reasons I love driving to destinations is because you never know the incredible travels and adventures and experiences you may encounter on the road, late at night, on a rainy afternoon 🙂
