Day 100 - Fishing on Ocracoke

On many of the NC Outter Bank Islands, it is legal to drive on the beach. 4WD and fat tires are advised as the sand can be quite soft.

This is just a sample of the many swans, egrets and ducks we saw here. There were also brown pelicans and blue herons, but I'm not sure you can see any in this picture.

Day 99 - Pea Island NWR, Wasp

Mom really liked this wasp and was trying to get a closeup, so I thought I'd help also. The colors are unusual compared to wasps I've seen before.

Day_83_-_Silver_Beach

This was our first glimpse of Chesapeake Bay; however it seems misnamed. At high tide there's no beach here. There's no public access and the locals don't like outsiders.

Day_83_-_Cheap_House

The Eastern Shore (east across Chesapeake Bay from most of Virginia) seems rural and less built up than other area's we've been on the east cost. Of course, most aren't quiet this bad.

Day_83_-_Cape Charles Kite Boarders

These guys put in about 10 miles north of Cape Charles and kite boarded here. Very difficult looking sport, sort of a cross between surfing and hang gliding.

I sort of prefer beaches without all the apartments up against them, but any beach is better than no beach at all.
