Below: This is the third time that the two RV Gypsies have seen a big twig maze by Patrick Dougherty. The first time was in Dayton, Ohio, September 2013. The second time was in Annapolis, Maryland in June 2021 and now here in North Carolina. Each time, the size and design was a bit different. |
|
Patrick Dougherty's twig maze had lights with changing colors shining on his art. |

During this entire walk, the two RV Gypsies had 3-D glasses that they would occasionally stop and put on. The effect was amazing. Obviously it would have been dangerous to walk with the 3-D glasses on. |

Below: When the two RV Gypsies were here in 2018 for the Christmas Light Display, Mrs. Claus was in this area and she was reading stories to the children. There was also a small train and village display. But due to the Coronavirus, there was no Mrs. Claus this year. However, the train and village display was much bigger, and much more amazing. These are only a few of the sections of the display. |

Below: Leaving the Christmas Display, Karen Duquette noticed a van parked and the lights from a nearby tree were reflecting on the side of the van. |
|
Then the two RV Gypsies stopped for a bite to eat. It was almost closing time for the restaurant, so not many people were inside. The food was okay, but nothing special. |
