Today was another gorgeous day on the Outer Banks. Early this morning we took a ride south along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore road, clear to the end of the island. We checked out the ferry to Ocrakoke but it looked like a long wait most of the time. So I guess we won't get to hunt for Blackbeard's missing treasure this trip. I was pretty sure I knew where he hid it too.
We did stop to check out the tallest lighthouse in the US.
We had planned to eat breakfast on the beach this morning but we sort of overslept. Tomorrow we will do that for sure...cinnamon rolls and coffee on the beach bright and early...like we need cinnamon rolls.
Glenn messed with lights on the jeep for a while this afternoon but I spent the day on the beach. I actually got kind of hot and had to get wet...but I didn't plan to get as wet as I got. I'm not used to this wild Atlantic water. It's so different from the Sanibel waters on the gulf side. I almost got knocked on my butt from the waves rolling in. I had a couple margaritas so maybe that contributed to my unsteadiness!
We rode the other direction this evening. I love the remote look of the dunes along the coast here. There are many places along the way that you can enter the beach in your vehicle. We had the jeep, which has four wheel drive, so we zipped out there. It was really cool driving on the beach. I love the idea of being able to drive right out to the water, setting up your chair, and
chillin'. I guess it's not better than being able to walk out our RV door and walk over the dune though.
We saw the most beautiful sunset over the sound. The skies stayed so colorful after the sun was down. It was breathtaking.
