River Dunes Marina near Oriental, NC, – Scranton Creek Anchorage near Belhaven, NC 10-13 July 2013

We enjoyed our stay at River Dunes immensely! One day we took the courtesy car into Oriental which was about 10 miles away.  We haven’t been there in quite a while and it looked very different from what I remembered. It’s definitely a boatin…

After a great weekend/family reunion in New Bern, NC, we had a “going away” dinner with our friends, Jim and Betsy, upon our return to Mt. Pleasant and before returning home.  They were actually getting to “go away”. We went to one of the favorite…
