Yesterday we spent the day driving and arrived in the Wal-mart parking lot in Kitty Hawk around 8pm. We visited the “Big Red Box” and settled for a third choice movie called “Butter” On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d have to put it around -2 with a +8 on 3 funny scenes.
This morning was a slow start but when we opened the curtains we were surrounded by Jesus. Seems like his name was Jessop not Jesus and he was riding his bike to bring awareness to the homeless. He had a rather neat bus, looked like the top off of Fraser, with a deck on the back and equiped with everything he will need including a surf board on the hood, a bike on the front and a fold out ladder in a basket on the back.
Rolling for the reason
Then we headed to Cape Hatteras in search of SeaGlass
The roads have just been cleared for two weeks after Storm Sandy.
Sand Bags, just so you get the idea of the size of these you could put about 8 adults and 10 kids in one of these bags
Sand bags line the road
Some are just returning home and starting the clean-up 2 months later
Built high enough for a storm
Finally we made it to the beach, ah no kidding
We found lots of shells
Lots of birds with the name stilt
More stilts
This amazing thing??? What is it
But just a couple of pieces of Sea Glass
I found a couple of other hidden gems but I want to save them for later. We are having a restful, relaxing oh and driving time. I’m wire wrapping seaglass that I found on prievious beachcombing finds and grandpa is heading to the Morehead City, about a 4 hour drive tomorrow but it is going to be rainy all day. I also found at Wal-mart tonight the book 50 shades of grey so I might start reading as I got tired of waiting for it to come on audio for my MP3. We visited the “Big Red Box” again and are about to watch ??? gosh they say memory is the first to go when you get old, Ah. I wonder what the second thing to go is?
Have a great night, cindy

Hi Cindy! How is life on the road? I can’t believe they are still cleaning up sand off the roads along the coast from Sandy. Crazy. And I don’t know about building a house on sand even if on stilts. Would you live in one? Where is the sewer and water and electricity? Interesting. The big house doesn’t even have steps all the way to the beach. Stay safe and happy beach combing. Happy New Year to you too!
Hell no, living on stilts wouldn’t be on my list of 50 things I’d like to do. Imagine they are built this high to avoid the storms, so you are up high and watching all kinds of rushing water, cars, boats, debris and stuff heading for your stilts, no, not for me. I saw the sewer and water hookup and the electricity is above ground, only the new places I believe have the electric wires buried. Thanks
Cool bus – and yeah, I don’t remember anything anymore.
