sand, water and sunsets

We had to have a window replaced on the motorhome..... while it was out, Boo took advantage of a new perch:

Let me tell ya, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are .....  waaaaay    out there!
Very interesting, beautiful, ...... but not much there. 
Charlie and I managed to get the car stuck in the sand on a little road leading to the beach.  Two local fishermen got us out. As we backed out to the main road we saw that we must have passed a good sized sign that said we should have had 4 wheel drive to have attempted that road.    Someone was really quick in putting up that sign! :)

"light housecat" at Ocracoke Island

very chilly on the ferry

but awesome sunsets

and the grandest of all, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse:

In 1999 they moved this 208' tall lighthouse (think space shuttle style), 1600 feet inland, to protect it from shoreline erosion.
