July 11, trip to Hatteras Light…
We experienced a few days of clouds and sporadic rain here in NC. Yesterday (Friday) we drove down to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which you probably know better as the tallest brick lighthouse in the US. Given this tidbit, we were prepared for a hardcore climbing workout.

Ok, as you are seeing, blogging is turning out to be in the style of adding a bunch of new stuff every 5 days instead of a little bit of new stuff every day, but hey, we’re doing the best we can. North Carolina has been great, even if eli is disappointed that there’s not as many monster trucks here as he remembered from his last visit.
