2018 - June 24 - Day 9 -

Another hot one today. 93 and humid as hades.
As some of you may have seen on a video earlier, I crossed the NC state line today. Woo hoo! Also stopped at the NC Welcome Center which serves cars on Hwy. 17 and boats on the Dismal Swamp Canal.
I hate to disappoint folks, but the bugs have not been that bad. I have no mosquito bites and no biting fly bites. Of course my skin is a toxic stew of deet and sunscreen, bu it just has not been as bad as I heard it might be. I’ve seen several snakes, but was only able to ID one which was not venomous.
I arrived in South Mills an hour early so I am chilling in the shade while I wait for the 3:30 lock opening. I’ll try to do a live video at the lock. This time I go down 11 feet instead of up.

I forgot to post this sign from the Deep Creek Lock yesterday. I have 1257 miles to get to Key West!

Fishugger waiting to go through the lock at 3:30 near the drawbridge in South Mills.
