stops along the way. Our bum and bones get stiff sitting forlong periods straddling the bike. Our plan was to see the Currituck and Bodie lighthouses today. And, of course, we try to stay away from the major interstates due to the beating we take following other vehicles, and especially semi-trucks and their turbulence! Mark added the restrictions to the GPS of "no highways" and "no tolls." There is also another option to avoid, "no ferry." We knew we were going to have to take a ferry to one or another of the lower lighthouses, so we left that alone.
We traveled 518 miles our first day. The GPS took us up into the bottom portion of Virginia and then back down into North Carolina when we got closer to the coast. In the map of our travels, the blue line going across the top is the route to the lighthouses. The red line going back into North Carolina is where we spent the nights at the Road Trip Motel in Plymouth, NC. Appropriately named, don't you think?
