Outer Banking


After the ferry ride, I drove through lovely Cedar Island on my way to a moody & remote motel, Core Creek Lodge, on the Intracoastal Waterway near tiny Beaufort, NCZeno, the fearless border patrol dog, and yours truly recently scanned the East Coast from North Carolina through Georgia, much of it along the long barrier islands of the Outer Banks. I can report back to you, dear reader, that the coast was clear.  [please hover over images for captions]
