10/4/2013 Friday After breakfast we drove the truck over to our assigned spot and unloaded to truck and then I returned the truck to the parking lot and walked back to our site and we setup everything up and were ready when the festival opened at 12 noon.
10/5/2013 Saturday The festival opened today at 10AM so we walked over to our spot about 9AM to get ready for the day.
10/6/2013 Sunday The festival opened today at 11AM so we walked over to our spot about 9:30AM to get everything ready. We had perfect weather all weekend and a large crowd so it was a good weekend. Plus we ate some great seafood from one of the vendor booths. We were supposed to leave here after the festival was over at 5PM and go to Cedar Island National Park Campground for 8 nights but with the US Government shutdown the park was closed. So we decided to stay one more night in Morehead City and leave early the next morning rather than driving part of the way home in the dark, plus we were both tired.
10/7/2013 Monday After breakfast we drove back home. This was the first time that we had dry camped since we had the residential refrigerator installed. We did not have any extra batteries installed so we were curious as to how they would hold up running the refrigerator all day while we were at the festival. I cranked the generator for about 2 hours in the morning while we prepared breakfast and got ready and then for 2-3 hours in the evening to keep the batteries charged and they did just fine. They never dropped below 12.2 volts even though we went between 10-11 hours between running the generator.
