If
you want to see the Corolla Wild Horses you'll need to take
a trip up north on the 4 wheel drive beach. These two
were grazing on top of the beach dunes. |
|
|
If
you can get to it, the 4 wheel drive beach has many interesting
sites you are not likely to see elsewhere on the Outer Banks.
These stumps are all that remain from a long ago forest
that existed before the ocean eroded the land and took over. |

A
Snowy Paradise! |

Given
the size limitations of the photo it may be hard to tell at
first, but this is indeed snow and not white sand! Yes,
the Outer Banks was hit by a blizzard on January 23, 2003,
which finally concluded with 8 inches of the white stuff and
drifts of up to 4 feet. This may be small potatoes to
folks in the great white north, but down at the beach it's
a once in a lifetime event! |
|
|
And
here's the same snow on the beach. Just makes you want
to go sunbathing doesn't it? (In the Caribbean maybe where
a white sand beach is sand!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should
we wait for the spring thaw or hook him off the ice?! |
|
|
Ever
take a trip to the 4 wheel drive beach? There are plenty
of rentals up there and lots of locals who used to live farther
south have moved there for the seclusion. Some are more
receptive to visitors then others as you can see. |

Watching
the sunset from the observation deck one evening this little
fellow wandered by and hung around for a while oblivious to
us having a drink and enjoying ourselves. |

President's
Day 2004 - You never think about snow at the beach (and it
usually doesn't, but here we go two years in a row! Just
a light dusting of 2 inches this time. |

enjoying the beach!) >> |
