Abstract:

Before the advent of the new hard-surfaced highway on the Outer Banks, bus travel to Hatteras could be a long, often thrilling experience. The Midgett family has operated the route for almost thirty years. The trip could take as much as six hours to complete. Travel was over the sand trails, with detours into the surf at times in order to find firmer sand and crossing Oregon Inlet was by ferry.
