Today we moved from Assastague to Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Only 220 miles but the last 100 miles just dragged. We left around 9 and didn't get to the campground until 3. We checked in and were told to go select a site then come back and tell the ranger. A bit different. We selected our site, went back and told the ranger. Then had to go back and get settled. As usual, no electricity, water or sewer. We sure are getting our boondocking(living off the grid) practice in.

Generator usage in Cape Hatteras is from 6 AM to 10 PM. People will usually start up around 8 AM and run them while breakfast is being made, then turn them off until needed for supper again. Sundown is around 7 and the campground settles into the pitch black and silence. You don't know what dark is until you camp in a National CG, no lights anyplace. No fires are permitted right now, so things to do are limited. We are 10+ miles from any civilization. At least we have the MH and can live off our batteries for a few hours.
