We left Oregon Inlet for our 40 mile trip to Frisco. Stopped at the Visitor's center on Pea Island, learned about the 1870 shipwreck just off the shore (Civil War supply ship...of course), walked the nature trail...the sign said, "don't feed the wildlife!" So we quickly decided not to feed the hundreds of deer flies and after about 50 feet, returned to the safety of our vehicle. In Avon, NC we stopped at The Froggy Dog for some local seafood...Fried Whiting. After a quick stop for essentials (potato chips) we went to climb the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. It's the second tallest brick lighthouse in the world, or something equally impressive. So when they said it got moved from the eroding shoreline in 1999...we had to find out how. We bought the DVD about the move to give to my ever inquisitive father-in-law for Christmas...whoops...I guess that was suppose to be a secret. But curiosity got the better of us so we watched it...we'll just wrap it up for him later!

All the Campgrounds in Cape Hatteras NP seem pretty much the same, open fields with sites backing up to the dunes, except for Frisco which has lots of native shrubs and a hill overlooking the ocean. Unlike the other campgrounds there does not seem to be any bugs (not counting ticks). We can see the ocean off in the distance. We have decided to stay here an additional day to check it all out.
