On our way to Hatteras, we stopped at the Bodie Island Lighthouse in south Nags Head. |
And of course, no visit to Hatteras would be complete without a stop at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton. |
Our home away from home for the night. Sort of like roughing it... but without the tent. And you have electricity. And cable TV if you want. God bless KOA! :) |
The boardwalk and steps down to our private beach access at the campground. |
I came across this siren of the seas frolicking in the surf. |
The next day, we decided to take the ferry to Ocracoke Island, home of the legendary pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. |
I decided to get into the part a little at the Teach's Hole learning center. |
Of course, we had to complete the circuit of mid-Outer Banks lighthouses with a stop at the Ocracoke Lighthouse. I did discover that if you blink, you can easily miss the turnoff and parking (ha ha!) area. |
