On Monday morning I drove down to Cape Hatteras National Seashore, about 60 miles south of our hotel in Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The surf in KDH had been rather disappointing (completely flat on Saturday, and blown out and choppy on Sunday) so I was hoping that Hatteras would offer something better. As it turned out, that wasn’t the case, but I didn’t mind, because it was absolutely beautiful down there.
The Cape Hatteras Light, built in 1870, is the tallest lighthouse in the United States. The lighthouse was moved inland several years ago due to erosion of the shoreline at its original site.
More on the actual trip later…
