As promised, here are a few pics of my trip to the OBX (that's the Outer Banks of NC for those who don't know).
Standing on top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse looking at the point of Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Out on the beach. The sand isn't as soft as I remembered. I was somewhat dissapointed.

Pic at Oregon Inlet, NC. The sand was a bit softer here

, but the tide was high and some areas were impassible
Another pic at the Inlet.
Despite bad timing on the tide, it was a good trip. I was hoping for a little more challenging terrain, but that's OK. For those who were inquiring about the OBX, I would suggest you take a pocket full of money when visiting. The place is nothing but a tourist catered island. Very beautiful beaches and scenery.
