Sunday, August 20th - to Rodanthe, NC

We took the short (45 minutes) ferry ride from the north end of Ocracoke Island to Hatteras Island this morning. We settled in at the Ocean Waves Campground in Rodanthe near where we camped with the kids in June 1981. MA drove the Jeep back down toward Hatteras to take pix of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This is the one that was threatened by erosion from the sea. In 1999, it was moved about a half mile away from the ocean and is safe now. Meanwhile, I got to watch the PGA golf tournament which was dominated by Tiger Woods. He is SO impressive on and off the course!

These little buggers stuck to my shoes shows what a hazzard it was to walk to the beach if you got off the beaten path. I was walking Gypsy one evening and we encountered these monsters. Gypsy was not wearing shoes and got two caught in her pads. She was not a happy camper!
