Windsor, NC

I was in Windsor, NC for a few days dealing with a new project start up a week or so ago. I made the drive every day for three days. Windsor is a very enchanting town and it's overlooked by the vast majority of the Highway 17 traffic. The people I worked with, without exception, were down to earth, unassuming and straight forward. That is a group of qualities that are rare and greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy the following briefly narrated, pictorial representation of my trip to this wonderful corner of eastern North Carolina.


Motorcycle riding prepares you for many things in life. Most especially it gives you a greater appreciation for your surroundings. Highway 17 runs through Washington, Williamston and on to Windsor.





Just after you leave Williamston heading north you hit the four lane that leads to Windsor. There is something about this stretch that is particularly appealing.






I had the advantage of working in the old power plant adjacent to the wonderful riverside park area and could not resist the desire for some pictures.






















































Windsor, the county seat of Bertie County, is ideally located in Northeastern North Carolina between the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers, headwaters of the Albemarle Sound. Windsor is centrally located on major highways and just a short drive from the Outer Banks. Founded in 1768, the town is located on the banks of the Cashie River and remains today much as it did in its heyday and is one of the most interesting small historically significant towns in the region.

Do not forget to eat at Buns Barbecue on North King Avenue! I highly recommend it! Take a left at the main light at 17 then go a few blocks and look on the right.
