We left the wooded areas of North Carolina behind and headed for the coast. I’ve read lots of novels over the years that mentioned the Outer Banks, the chain of islands off the coast of North Carolina, so I was happy to go there! We camped at Oregon Inlet among the sand dunes. (Perfect for us Oregonians). We had an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. Except for a few fishermen, the beach was empty this time of year which made it perfect for long walks and letting Sunny off leash so he could run like the wind! We loved seeing beautiful sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening from our campsite. BOTH ARE OVER WATER, so that was a new experience….There was a lot to explore in this unique area and most days we drove out oto see the sights. We are so glad to experience the uniqueness of the Outer Banks. MORE TO COME.
Oregon Inlet circled on mapIt looks a bit barren , but there was lots of rugged beauty here.Sunny was very content to lay outside our Alto and soak in the sunshine,This is a picture of a sand burr on our table. These are nasty little buggers that imbed themselves in everything they touch! I first learned about them when I sat down on a sand dune to rest. Ouch! I had to carefully(they are sharp) to remove them one at a time. Poor Sunny got them in his paws, another ouch! We stepped on them inside Light Chaser because these nasty buggers doing their way into our carpet, a third ouch on bare feet! Ouch, ouch and ouch 😣!Sunny, on top of a sand dune, says, “It’s cold in this wind! How long do I have to pose this time?”There’s a new day dawning😊Throwing a stick for SunnySunny runs like the wind!Lots of fishing boats here.The end of another beautiful day!
