Thanks, kalee. I spent a couple years there in my young Marine days. I miss the place greatly. Pier fishing was the cat’s meow. I had a young girlfriend, didn’t think she liked me much until she stuck her tongue down my throat at the drive-in. Yipee.

Absolutely lovely.
I’ve never been further than Hatteras, but in my not-so-well-travelled life, I’ve never seen a place in the US more beautiful than the Barrier Islands of NC.
Now that I’m old, I’ve become interested in Mountains, and will probably wind up in them. But those rolling islands, dunes, water, sky, will always be in my heart.
I remember swimming at Nag’s Head, and feeling the pounding of the Alpha Dolphin vibrating through the water into my body; and the sight of pelicans flying so close to the water as to almost scrape my head.
A magical and unforgettable place.
