Cape Hatteras National Seashore

Yesterday, after spending three whole days at home, we drove the RV out to Camp Hatteras RV Park in Waves, NC - about as far East as you can go in NC without getting wet. Our campsite is on the Outer Banks within a stone's throw of the Pamlico Sound where we're attending the 2009 North Carolina WIT (Winnebago-Itasca Travelers) State Rally with about 70 other RVs made by Winnebago. We've met some nice folks and have enjoyed sitting back and watching all the 'kids' parasailing in the Sound in the gusty coastal winds we have today.

We drove about 25 miles further down the Outer Banks to visit the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse this morning and, thanks to several busloads of kids with tickets that were waiting in line, we decided not to climb the 250+ steps to the top today. We did view a movie about how the lighthouse was moved over 2,900 feet inland in 1999 to help preserve it. Quite impressive indeed and one more lighthouse magnet now hangs on our fridge.
