October20; humid and then, thankfully, windy.

We soared today. We drove through Kitty Hawk and stopped at a memorial to flight. We climbed the hill that these two famous brothers climbed when they attempted to defeat gravity. Eventually they went from gliding to flying. So, to win a prize, name the brothers who made Kitty Hawk famous. Kill Devil Hills is the famous bump that was used to launch the gliders.

We are in North Carolina looking for Cape Hatteras. It is along this strip of sand that there is a black and white striped light house and a swirl black and white light house. I hope to capture them tomorrow.

This afternoon was so warm and humid that I had to put shorts and short sleeves on. Now that the sun is down, the wind is very blustery.

Took the mh through a tunnel under the James River this morning—lots of room; no kissing this crossing.

Heard of the outer banks of North Carolina? Well, we are on them. Lots of sand and sand dunes around us. This is just a narrow spit of sand which we take down to a free ferry and then carry on to catch a pay ferry back to the mainland.

Fishing is huge down here. People were trying to catch spots and a puppy something because it was up to 17 inches. Check out the wheeled fishing buddies.

Marg wants you to know that we passed through Nags Head.

Cheers

Yes, to cotton from C&P.
