N. Carolina guys:
I was down your neck of the woods this passed weekend, Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach to be specific. My stay wasn't long.....I had gotten "elected" to move my sister in law back to New York from Wilmington. Flew down to N.C. Sat am with the intentions of a quick turn-around and drive back to N.Y. The U-haul was a 28 footer, packed to capacity, and hitched on the back was a car trailer w/ a 2008 3 series BMW. This rig was nearly 50 ft. in length. [BTW, there was no mention of any "trailer"] Anyway, got a quick tour of Wil. and Writsvll. beach......very nice.....had lunch at a popular inter coastal rest. Can't recall the name, was right on the inter coastal, sorta white stucco building w/ a blue roof, just over a draw bridge that ,I think, bought you into writsvll. beach. Quick walk down to the pier [ a lot of people fishing from the pier] and that was about it. Got into this 50ft, 50,000 pound missile and headed west on RT. 40...."y'all" need some lights on that road, then 95 North for the next 13-14 hours. Can't say I'd be looking forward to do that again, but I would like visit and have a little more time. Looks like a nice place to live. Some REALLY nice, BIG sportfishermans parked all over the place, they've all got that big Carolina flare thing going on. Wished I could have stayed longer!

My daughter lives there now and manages "Dicks" Sporting goods store there. It is pretty and nice, she loves it for the fishing (she's a big fisherman) and pretty good one at that.

Glad you had a nice "visit".
I can't remember the name of that restaurant, its been a few years since I've been to it....but it was always good. Come on back some time and we'll show you a good time. Lights on I-40? Then you would be able to see the deer BEFORE you hit them.....that's crazy talk.

No the Bridge Tender is brown, I think you were at Bluewater. If it was a two story build ing it was the Bluewater. My marina is right around the corner from there. If you turned left after leaving Wrightsville beach you would drive over a low concrtete bridge with 4 lanes with a huge marina to your left, that's my place. It is a beautiful place to be sure. Come back down and see us sometime. No offense, but it's good to hear when yankees go back home. LOL! Just kidding.
