[A/S] Re: Next Summer

To Frank and anyone looking for a great trip next summer;

This past October we took a trip through the Outer Banks.
About half way down the Outer Banks, there are three towns, Rodanthe, 
Waves and Salvo. At Waves there is a KOA Camp Hatteras then a private 
park called Camp Hatteras and another park I don't remember their 
name. Prices were from $22 - $40 per night.

We stayed at Camp Hatteras to check out their facilities for having a 
Washington DC unit rally. This park fronts on the Ocean and on 
Pamlico Sound. The road splits the park in this area. They have a 
great location here, you can hear the Ocean or walk over the dunes to 
it. They also have indoor and outdoor pools, a meeting hall with 
kitchen, a games room for the kids, Miniature golf, Tennis court and 
close to a fishing pier.

At the entrance there is a couple, Doug and Sue Green, in a 55 Safari 
waiting to greet you. They work at the park and live in their trailer 
and are the official welcoming party for Airstream trailers.
  
The Outer Banks is known for being the home of Blackbeard the Pirate 
and the first lighthouse in North America. The current Cape Hatteras 
lighthouse was moved up the beach in 1999 to keep it from washing 
into the Ocean. It was quite a job costing 23 million dollars. 

Bring your treasure hunting equipment as there are thousands of ship 
wrecks along the Outer Banks and stuff washes up after every storm.

If you want to get in on a great rally, it will be held the Camp 
Hatteras park next Aug. 15 - 18, 2002. Put on by the Washington DC 
unit and attracting mostly vintage trailers. Sign up information from 
Garnett Horner email " g.c.horner@larc.nasa.gov " . Sign up early as 
the Washington rallys are getting known for their great times and 
fill up fast.
