years ago we rented a beach house on the outer banks for vacation. If you want quiet there is a lite section in the middle of Hatteras island that is a small community of rental properties. It's about half way between Kitty Hawk to the north and Hatteras to the south with only undeveloped National Seashore in between.socks wrote:
Thanks for the itinerary, always nice t have some idea of what and where to go. Were only about 40-50 miles up the beach when on Vaca, so I'm hoping it'll happen this year (but it's difficult to get 10 of us on the same page) if not, have a friend who just bought a house in the area, so better than good odds for me to come back to the area for a visit.jimmyjam wrote:
If you do go, after you tour the museum, take a hike up to the top of Jockey's Ridge (giant sand dune) for a 360 degree view and to see the hang gliders fly. Then if you have time go to Cape Hatteras and climb the light house. If you still have time take the ferry from there to Ocracoke Island to get out of the crowds.socks wrote:

just finished the new biography of the Wright Brothers by McCullough. Great story. Before that I read the definitive guide to Tajikistan and Pamir Mountains so I'm all set to go trekking there. By all accounts it among the world's most spectacular, remote, and undiscovered hiking destinarion.
