Thoughts on Timing...

Hey guys, here's my thoughts...Avon, North Carolina is about a 400 mile trip for us, and that equals out to approximately 8 hours of driving time. If we all meet and leave from my house at 7 am, stop every two hours for a short 15 minute break or gas fill-up, we should hit our destination somewhere around 4 pm. Since we can't check in until 3 pm anyway, this sounds like it would work.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

OBX Fishing!

Hey Guys,
For those of you who want to do some fishing, (and I do know that both Art and Shannon have expressed interest), I've done some research and come up with this chart to give you an idea of what species we may be able to sink a hook into!

Happy 2012 Gandys!

I just got my account set up via desk top computer. For some reason my phone wouldn't let me set it up without giving my cell number... i said no to that. Anyhow, i am looking forward to spending a week with all of you in NC. I am sure it will be different from any vacation experience as Shannon and I will be bringing our little baby.

Map of the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks (also known as OBX) is a 200-mile (320-km) long string of narrow barrior islands off the coast of North Carolina, beginning in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east coast of the United States. They cover approximately half the northern North Carolina coastline, separating the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Outer Banks is a major tourist destination and is known for its temperate climate and wide expanse of open beachfront.

The Wright brothers' first flight in a powered, heavier-than-air vehicle took place on the Outer Banks on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills near the seafront town of Kitty Hawk. The Wright Brothers National Monument commemorates the historic flights, and First Flight Airport is a small, general-aviation airfield located there.

The treacherous seas off the Outer Banks and the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred there have given these seas the nickname Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located in Hatteras Village near the United States Coast Guard facility and Hatteras ferry.

The Outer Banks is a series of islands: from north to south — Bodie Island, Roanoke Island, Hatteras Island, and Ocracoke Island. The Outer Banks is considered to be the areas of coastal Currituck County, Dare County, and Hyde County.
