OUTER BANKS TOUR, NOVEMBER 2008

Over Thanksgiving week, 2008, we made a trip of five days (600 miles, 1000 km) around the Outer Banks of North Carolina, starting and ending in Chapel Hill. The orange lines show our land route, with two blues lines for the ferry trips (Cedar Island to Ocracoke and Ocracoke to Hatteras). The places we stayed were New Bern, Ocracoke, Kill Devil Hills, and Edenton, shown as green triangles.
