Oregon Inlet

Oregon Inlet Campground Hatteras National Seashore NC

The weather we were supposed to get during the night, terrific “red” thunderstorms and wicked wind, thankfully, never materialized.  We woke up to calmer breezes and mist.  A call to the bridge information hotline told us that there were o wind restrictions today.  We got busy and packed up and left before anything could change!  By 10:00 we were at Morris Farms where we got some preserves and produce.  By 11:30 we were camped at Oregon Inlet.  We aired down the tires after grabbing a quick lunch and headed for the beach.  The sky was beginning to clear and though it was windy, it was warm.  We enjoyed at walk at the inlet and then a second walk at Pea Island Wildlife Refuge.  We drove down to Rodanthe and stopped in the market there for a couple of groceries. 

We had delicious Maryland crab cakes from Santoni’s for our dinner as we watched the sunset over the sound.

After dark, we took the Jeep for a drive along the beach. It was still very windy. The fast moving clouds and the almost full moon made for stunning pictures.
