ocracoke, north carolina

ocracoke is a barrier island that is only about 15 miles long and can only be accessed by ferry at each end.  i drove down a 3 mile sand road to get to the southernmost end of the island.

at the beach, i went until the sand was too soft to drive on.

it was a perfect beach day, and the sun was ripe for soaking in.  my main goal was to meditate and roam.  and that's exactly what i did... for three hours.  mmmm.   i think i roamed a few miles in that time.

i really enjoyed the island.  it's part of the national seashore so it's still pristine.  

horse ride anyone?

at the north end, it was ferry time again.  and again i got the front parking spot for the 40 minute ride to cape hatteras.  sweet!
