1340 September 28 – October 1, 2026 Back To Cape Charles

We left early in the morning.  We had said our goodbyes the night before.  Even though I really want to be traveling, seeing new places and meeting new people; it was extraordinarily hard to leave. 

We traveled across the Bay Bridge and toward the Eastern Shore.  A nor’easter had been playing havoc with the coast, but there was no sign of the turmoil that it caused as we moved south and east.  We did know that a section of Route 12 in North Carolina on the Outer Banks had been decimated.  We decided to extend our stay in Cape Charles as we awaited news about what the road closure would mean for the reservations we had made in OBX. 

We had four really blissful days, with perfect weather, beautiful sunsets and lots of time for walking and biking.

As our time neared to an end, we got news that the road had been repaired and that NC Route 12 would be open for southbound traffic including visitors on Thursday October 1.  Yay for us!!!
