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.

Abstract:

Duck is the only town in the Outer Banks that allows dogs on the beach without leashes. As you make your way down south, suggested activities are kite surfing in Buxton, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, a trip to see wild horses at Ocracoke, and the Outer Banks Brewing Station.
