1091 May 16, 2024 Hatteras

I walked the campground road this morning.  Since I biked 10 miles and walked more than 12,000 steps yesterday, I chose to take an easy walk.  When I got back, Tim was ready to roll.

We took the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Every time we come this way; I think about how brave Tim is to drive here.  The tractor trailers are coming from the opposite direction and there isn’t a lot of wiggle room!

We stopped at the Currituck County Visitor Center and had our breakfast.

We stopped at Morris Farm.  We got fresh corn on the cob and zucchini and cucumbers and blackberries.   The prize by far were the “real” strawberries. 

We traveled on to the Hatteras National Seashore. 

Last autumn when we tried to stay here. It was raining sideways with gusty winds and no chance of improvement for several days.  We are happy to be back.

We settled for the night in the Cape Point Campground.  There are no hookups but it is $10.00 for the night with our Lifetime Senior Pass. 

We got a site near the beach access road and this afternoon; we drove the Jeep to the parking area.  There was only one fisherman on our stretch of beach.  It was a perfect beach day…not too hot and a gentle breeze!

For dinner, I made butter chicken and garlic naan.  We had greens with those beautiful berries and a strawberry balsamic dressing…delicious!!!

Another trip tot he beach to watch the sunset.

We went to the lighthouse to get our permits for beach driving and campfires. The lighthouse is currently closed and undergoing a historic renovation.

What a wonderful day!
