JeffPo's Outer Banks Page
Last update: 10/12/97
This
is the famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse. It's the tallest in the country.
As you can see, the ocean is quite close. There's a big debate
going on over how to save the structure. Some want to build up the
dunes with dams and such while others want to move it more inland.
Here's
a shot of some sand and sea grass along the Outer Banks. I was amazed
at the dual color of the sand and the different patterns it made as the wind
blew.
This
is a shot of our dear friends, Rob and Lola as they stroll along the
beaches of the Outer Banks. This was during January of 1997 which is
why they are dressed so warmly.
This
shot was so cute that I had to put it on my page. This is my daughter
Victoria, "chilling out" during our Outer Banks trip.
And
of course, who could visit the Outer Banks without investigating where man
first took to the skies in powered flight. This is the Wright Brothers
memorial near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
This
is the Ocracoke Lighthouse. It is another very old lighthouse along
the Outer Banks. These waters were once patrolled by Blackbeard the
pirate and he lost his head near this island.
