Lumberton North Carolina

On the way to Virginia Beach Virginia we stayed in Lumberton NC for a night, actually it was supposed to be two nights. We have adopted a plan when we move. We aim for about 250 miles and if it is longer we break it up with two nights.

We got to the Sleepy Bears RV Park and spent one night. The next day after Lance got back from taking photographs of yet another beautiful golf course, we started to have problems with the electricity. The only solution was to move since it was not our motorhome. We decided if we needed to move might as so we continued on to Four Oaks NC.

On the way to Lumberton we saw at least a million billboards for South of the Border. Never did understand the name since it was north of the South and North Carolina borders.

Turns out it was a whole wonderland of fun. They certainly know how to advertise!!!

This is the Lumberton water tower. It is the most decorated water tower I have seen -- I have seen a few since every town has one.

The "south" is South ON the border -- we had too many miles to cover that day to stop (plus not wanting to wake the 2-year old).

My daughter did a "drive-by" shot of the Lumberton water tower for my library's "artistic water towers" page (Artistic Water Towers)
Look us up in case your travels bring you through Nebraska on I-80.
