Dare County, North Carolina has been suffering through a wild fire that has affected the coastal areas of the Outer Banks as well. Officials say they have the blaze around 75% contained but heavy smoke and the smell of burning wood is evident in places like Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills.
Stumpy Point, NC is about 30 miles from Nags Head, NC, across the Croatan Sound, but the winds can shift causing the smoke to envelope the Wright Brothers' Memorial in a thick and ashy cloud of haze.
A server at Captain George's Restaurant said that the winds shift often leaving the skies clear and then they can cloud back up again at the drop of a hat.
Being in the 4x4 section has saved us from the smoke and respiratory issues facing some of the vacationers in the Southern Shores and Nags Head area. That would pretty much suck to come all this way and have it be smokey.
I'll be back with more tales of the beach including what it takes to go into the 4x4 section. It's really been fun.
