Yesterday was beautiful and bright. Today was gloomy and wet. We started off along the James River to the recommended plantation manor house, Shirley Plantation, only to get to the gate the closed sign. After taking another back road that hadn't been scraped of snow, every light on the dashboard went off. At the 'First Team Toyota' dealership we got to watch Quantuum Solace while they searched for the problem--a sensor. Then we were off to the afternoon's adventure of going through Virginia's Great Dismal Swamp. Guess what. They're right, it's actually dismal...not much of a swamp and what there is, quite dismal. The early Virginians were quite clever to shoot down the obvious name: Great Dull Swamp.
We are now in Elizabeth City and looking forward to reaching Ocrakoke Island tomorrow. It was a tough night and day but Joe's already snoring away on tonight's king sized bed!! Yea!
