North Carolina's Outer Banks
Our first 3 days were spent in the shadow of the Herbert C Bonner Bridge at Oregon Inlet N.P.S. Campground. This is one of my favorite stretches of beach for fishing and just "hanging out". No fish this time so we just "hung out". We took a nice hike for about 3-4 miles in the Nag's Head Nature Preserve. This was a nice maritime forest amongst the sand dunes and with the high temps, it was nice to walk in the shade since the flies and mosquitoes were sparse. We saw and identified a Wood Nymph butterfly with which we were not familiar. ( Why didn't I get it's picture? ). We had dinner at Sam & Omie's in Nag's Head - good shrimp! After dinner, we walked around the waterfront at Manteo since we had a little time to kill before going to see "The Lost Colony" outdoor drama. It was excellent!
Here you see our campsite at Oregon Inlet and Bob "hangin out". More to come......
