Abstract:
A study in contrasts was the two bikes, the first given at age ten, the other purchased recently. One was light as a feather, the other seemingly weighed half a ton. One was easy to navigate up hills, the other hard to get up the front steps. With the benefits the more recent of the two offered, trips through towns like Edenton or Beaufort seemed less like exercise and more like joy rides.

An aerial view of the Outer Banks offers sights like the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and Wild “Banker” Ponies. The treasures not viewable by the naked eye lie in the briny deep: remains of Spanish galleons, colonial brigantines, Confederate steamers, WW I freighters, and U-boats.

Abstract:
The attraction to the area, also known as the “Crystal Coast” or “Down East,” could be felt far and wide, extending from natives to visitors who became residents. Some of the hooks that this waterborne region could boast: pier fishing, big game fishing; charter boats. Other appealing aspects catered to land lovers. One, a thriving historical society, interests ranging from the area’s Colonial origins to association with Blackbeard. Another was the Croatan National Forest, a refuge for wildlife and hunter alike.

This patch of swamp, ironically called barely habitable, has generated life and livelihood over the past two centuries. During its Colonial life: construction site for a canal, spearheaded by George Washington. During its Confederate past: inspiration for novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe. Early twentieth century: moneymaker site for commercial tour boat owners. Today: debating ground for establishing public recreation or water management sites.
