Day 11
Hiked
3 miles
Another
beautiful sunrise over the dunes and another beautiful day.
We
decided to take a motorcycle ride and headed north to the ferry.
We
stopped at the Pony Pen (they claim the horses are the descendants of
the “Bankers” which may have come ashore after a shipwreck in the
16th century. Myth perhaps but nice story. They weren't
quite as pretty as our Assateague horses:
The
ferry brought us another dolphin (live) sighting.
We
rode up to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse again and saw where it was
originally built. The empty spot has been set up as a memorial to the
Lighthouse Keepers, a circle of boulders inscribed with their names.
Our favourite? Pharoah Farrow:
We
rode to Avon, bought a few groceries and headed back to the ferry. We
waited for 1 1/2 hours wondering why they weren't tucking us at the
back of any of the three ferries that preceded ours (as they usually
do with motorcycles). When we got to the front, they wondered the
same thing. Oh well. We chatted on the way over with a couple on a
Harley (he teased us for our Goldwing) and got back around 3:00.
Another
cool beach walk:
...then some drinks with Denny, Linda and their friends
Denny and Ellie.
Here's
the view from the bike:
And
the view (of a nice Towhee) from my chair:
