Beach Trip: Day 1 – Exploring

It started out cloudy, so we thought it would be a great day to do some exploring on the Outer Banks beach of Corolla, especially since this is the first time any of us have been here! We’ve been to other parts of the outer banks before, but never this part. There was a light house, historic house, state park and at the end was a undeveloped part of the beach that had wild horses! you could drive out on this part of beach to see the horses…if you had 4 wheel drive, so we didn’t get to do that part, but it would have been really neat!

So, here is what we did see:

we talked with a family that had come up with a creative way to catch crabs in a sound inlet (i guess that is what it could be called...small creek off of the sound?): raw chicken legs, rope and a kitchen strainer! it worked!!

This was a fun start to the trip, but it is a county park not a state park!! ;-)
