Outer Banks - Cape Hatteras

 To reach the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (and the entire Outer Banks), we had to drive over bridges like this...

 As we approached the lighthouse, this is what our GPS looked like.  I'm sorry this picture isn't very good, but it basically looked like we were driving in the ocean.

However, like in most of North Carolina, this is what it looked like as we were driving.  One would never know the Atlantic Ocean was on the left and the Croatan Sound was on the right.

The foundation stones on the right is the original location of the lighthouse.  You can see how far it was moved
in 1999.
