Cape Hatteras, NC Outer Barrier

We are currently in the Camp Hatteras Campground.  This is a huge facility and I can imagine its wall to wall rigs in the summer. 

A thin broken strand of islands curves out into the Atlantic Ocean and back again in a sheltering of North Carolina's mainland coast and offshore sounds.  For thousands of years these barrier islands - North Carolina's Outer Banks have survived onslaughts of wind and sea.  The long stretches of beach, sand dunes, marshes, and woodlands are set aside as Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

There are literally hundreds of "stilt" homes here from the beach to some ditance in.  This area just says "Mr. Hurricane, come get me".  This campround suffered major damage in 2011 from one.  You have to wonder why people build here.

There is however, many things to see and visit here.  We will be here until the 17th of April and may extend for another 8 days so will blog on the sights we visit.
