Great Dismal Swamp Elizabeth City NC.

Don't let the name fool you.  This place is in the swamp, with that we get bugs...lots and lots of bugs.  When we arrived it had just rained and the little lake out our window was really beautiful with this fog on it.  





After the sun came out this was our view.  Which was very nice.  Not too many people here right now so the bugs are feasting on me.  I am a rolling buffet for all things that bite, crawl and fly.  The biting flies and mosquitoes swarm me and the ticks just seem to find a way on me then latch on.  Tom says I need Advantix like we put on the dogs.  I can't use sprays because I am allergic to them too so we are looking for cedar oil so I can smell like an expensive closet.   


Leaving here today if our mail arrives, it didn't come yesterday.  Thanks USPS.   If not one more night in the Dismal Swamp.  Then onto Virginia....

  1. The mosquitos here were so bad at dusk that in order to enter or leave the coach we had to place a fan turned on high and sit it on the passenger seat blowing out the door to minimize the air force of mosquitos attacking. Never before or since. Well, accept for when we stopped in the woods to pee.
