our Chevy Silverado has to be state inspected this month ..... following having to install a new battery, the garage doing the inspection, says we need to put some miles on it so its computer can clear 5 "driveability codes" .... they say these codes can only be cleared by the truck's computer and to do so we need to put some miles on it .... further they say the number of miles it takes varies widely from vehicle to vehicle .... we haven't take a day road trip in all tooooo many moons so we've decided to head for Elijah's Oyster and Fish Camp === https://www.elijahs.com/ === which is located on the water front in Wilmington, NC .... its right at 125 miles from our home and to get there we take I-40 almost all of the way .... I'll add comments and hopefully pictures when we get back

No emissions test here in Wisconsin. Washington had them for a few decades and then figured out they didn’t do any good. New cars were required and old cars which were the polluters didn’t.

Great road trip Jim, enjoy the drive and the eats.

as noted, we haven't taken a road trip like this in many a moon and we are looking forward to this one .... no real reason, just haven't even considered one in a long time

the pictures below show Elija's along with the crab dip appetizer and two different seafood platters .... if you like batter fried seafood, theirs is extremely well prepared .... all that was left was some excellent french fries that we aren't supposed to be eating .... the place (restrooms included) was extremely clean .... parking space is limited with one small lot and street parking with meters stretching in three directions ....

the pictures below the views outside of Elija's

NOW I'm hungry!!
Looks like Ya'll had a great time. That's the way to service the truck.

we most certainly had a good day .... once again taking a day for a road trip proved to us that we need to do something of this type more often

I shared this with Carol this evening which as a result has us both considering a trip to the beach when time allows.

Thanks for taking us along.
We will definitely drop in there next trip to the coast. We are overdue for a getaway just for R&R.

Beautiful setting and that restaurant sure does a nice job with the decorations.
