The salt marsh at Bodie Lighthouse.
John on the boardwalk at the salt marsh by Bodie lighthouse. The sign said it was snake habitat. We stayed on the walk, kill deer, beach houses in Nags Head, the Duck Thru at the gas station and Duck Donuts.
We visited the Outer Banks Brewing. Their IPA's which is what John likes to taste were only available in cans. Little wierd. Here he is with an american pale ale. The beer and the food were pretty mediocre. Another beautiful day, 60's no wind. The wind shaped live oaks on the sound side of Cape Hatteras.
The beach on the sound side of the island. The water is absolutely flat. The mainland is so far away you can't see it. Remember ladies no wetsuits or waders in the bathroom at the lighthouse. Two crabs the first one is dead, but pretty big, the second one is very tiny and with my naked eye I thought he had sand on him he blended in so well, but in this photo I see his coloring just matches. Just the place I would want to eat, Dirty Dicks Crab Shack. Sea gulls on the beach near camp.
Cape Hatteras Light house was built in 1870. It is 198.5 feet tall and it is the world's second tallest brick lighthouse. This photo shows where the light house used to be and the shoreline that has been moving west for many years. When it got within 60 feet of the light house they tried to shore it up, but it didn't help, so in 1999 they moved the whole light house to the current location 2,900 feet inland to it's current location.
Seagulls and fishermen.
sand covered puffer fish,Area closed for bird use, lines in the sand, some kind of spine and windblown shells. John smoked a yummy turkey breast for Thanksgiving.
Another lovely sunset.
