Normally traveling on holiday weekends turns me off because everyone knows someone headed to the beach and the LAST thing I want is to be around people. But I had this feeling we’d be clear of both traffic and retards, and it turns out we were. We left Sunday morning and headed east on US 64 until we came into Cape Hatteras National Seashore and then headed south to Pea Island. It probably took us about ten minutes to find a suitable camping area. By “suitable” I mean no one else around, even if it meant we did it under the radar. After passing the “Day Use Only” sign we found this little road and some construction equipment. We hid the car behind the equipment and set up camp in a little nook in the dunes.
It ruled. After laying around on the beach and eating chips we sat on our hill overlooking the ocean, ate our homemade burritos and spied on people with the binoculars.
Then later after the sun went down we ran around naked and watched the stars. [No picture available.]
A little removal of the pants and staring at the stars with binoculars is all I needed. ALL.
