Dismal Swamp Canal Rest Area is a great stop and informative park center. Draw bridge to let boats pass by rest area.
This is a flight memorial rest area just before the Wright Brothers Memorial.
The top of the monument on the hill is the height of the hill when the Wright brothers first flew their glider from the sandy hill.
The hanger. The three stones in the middle document the length and time of the first three glider flights. The fourth flight is way beyond the picture.
Stickers to remember the stop.
The monument on top of the hill.
Looking away from the direction of flight. The sand dunes are in the back ground. Kill Hill.
Look one direction and then 180 degrees the ther direction.
I stayed on the boardwalk.
Spent some time watching this white heron.
It would have been nice t keep driving south on the Outer Banks of Carolina. If we didn't keep driving to cross the water via 2 ferries we would have to turn around and retrace our route north. We chose to turn around to keep driving for 2 more hours north and west. Camped at Pettigrew State Park on Lake Phelps. Another long day that took us to 8:30 PM. Only $14 camping fee. No power was ok. Nice to wake up to different birds chirping. Black bear in the area.
Wright Brothers Memorial at Kitty Hawk. A stop well worth the hour or two in the hot sun.
Nag Head and wild life preserves and light house.
