OBX






In honor of the big 30 coming up.


Our first stop was the Outer Banks, North Carolina. We spent the night in Kitty Hawk, then drove down to Cape Hatteras. We took a ferry from Cape Hatteras to Ocracoke Island, where they claimed to have wild horses, which ended up being penned in, then a back to North Carolina's mainland.

The Outer Banks were similar to the Cape a bit. The beaches had high dunes, the houses had that similar feel, and the tall grass all were reminiscent of Cape Cod. OBX was not Cape Cod though. You could drive on the beach, which lead to us trying to take the Rogue on the beach. It didn't turn out well. We got stuck in the sand and Tom had to push us out, which could have been a lengthy wait for AAA. It is apparently known for its fishing, windsurfing, and kite surfing. We attempted to see wild horses via a horseback expedition, but it just didn't pan out. Maybe next time. Then it was on to Charleston, SC...
