Well, the votes are in. The dungenous crabs on the west coast are are better in every respect than the blue crabs here.... Easier to clean, easier to eat, and taste better. Not to say the blue crabs aren't good, just not as good. We stopped at a roadside market and got a half dozen crabs for dinner .... They threw in 1 extra because a couple were missing a claw like the one in the picture. I used the one in the picture for the model because he/she was more docile and not challenging me. Anyway we had crab for dinner and maybe enough for a crab omelet this morning.
We stopped at the Wright Brothers museum near Kitty Hawk NC. The memorial was erected on Kill Devil Hill in about 1930. Kill Devil hill is a sand dune where the Wrights practiced with non-powered gliders until they perfected their design and flying skills. The first powered flight occurred at the base of the hill.
The park service has an excellent museum and visitors center at the location.
The 13th was Nancy and my 43rd wedding anniversary so we went out to dinner at the Captains Table restaurant in Buxton NC on Cape Hatterus. Very good meal.
This is the lighthouse at Cape Hatterus. It is 120 foot tall and made of brick and is still operational. The amazing part is that it was moved about 1/2 mile from it's original location in one piece
