Today we arrived at Frisco Campground on Hatteras Island. There is a high bluff over looking the campground with the ocean beyond. We were not able to find a site high on the bluff, but we did locate one near the ridge. The view is not as open as the other sites, but the breeze is comfortable. After we set up, we relaxed and Sue took two naps and caught up on her sleep. We had steaks on the grill with corn on the cob and tomatoes. We were able to get a cell connectionf rom our site, perhaps because we are up high and near the signal from the local town. There are no cell towers in national parks or wild life refuges.

Tomorrow we will take some walks, enjoy the beach and relax. The generator seems to work well and provides an adequate electrical supply. There is not enough power for air conditioning, but everything else seems to work. It has a one gallon capacity and we will see if it makes it through the night. We have ceiling exhause fans to cool the camper and they run on battery power. The generator charges the battery and operates small electrical appliances. We don't need much, but the exhaust fans make a big difference. The temps are getting cooler, but the humidity near the ocean is high.
