Re: Not too much longer....

Nice photos, Greg. Growing up, we always went to the Outer Banks around  Atlantic Beach and Morehead City, but last December I took a trip to Rodanthe and travelled up and down highway 12. I really like the remoteness and wildness of Okracoke.

I know you're not a big fan of the crowds further north, but there are interesting things to see on Hatteras, Bodie and Roanoke Islands. Among many worthwhile sites are Bodie Island lighthouse, Pea Island refuge (when the migratory birds are there), Manteo's Maritime Museum and Roanoke Marshes lighthouse, and of course the Wright Brothers' memorial at Kitty Hawk (your Nat'l Park senior pass gets you in for free).

I'm spending a week in Nags Head with the family in August and will take the ferry to Ocracoke one day.
