9. I love Ocracoke! Been there many times.

I fact I've been all up and down the Outer Banks. It's the one place other than New Orleans I dream of having a pied-à-terre.

10. Beautiful, beautiful pics!

We're planning on heading down there for Thanksgiving this year. That's provided, of course, that the hurricanes leave Highway 12 alone.

Sending all kinds of peaceful and relaxing thoughts your way. Enjoy!

where everybody was totally into Okra Coke

18. Went there when I was 10 - do the people still talk funny ???

btw. great pics - have a great time

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. yes - we walked the beach at "hoi toide". It's great - sadly many of the locals

have been squeezed out by high property taxes. The island still manages to maintain its great charm (but is fighting tackiness hard) - we only come here off-season; it is rough in the summer - too many tourists who shouldn't come here because there isn't miniature golf, movies, or water parks. Just 13 miles of pristine beaches and a few really good restaurants and coffee shops!

20. Really nice, NRL...

Especially the beginning sunset...

I miss the beach at times like this, so you brought me some joy...

21. Ahh, Ocracoke .. been there twice, before we had kids

What a fantastic spot, and fantastic pics! Your first pic registered in my mind as "hey that looks like Ocracoke" before I read your subject line
We always went in mid summer... i seem to remember lots of horse fly's.
Can you still see the wild horses?
