Let us know how it is - my sister-in-law will be joining us at the OBX in
Aug and driving down from the Boston area. Mapquest has her going that
route as well.
We drive down from OH and I've wanted to head east and go down that route my
self as a change of pace!
If it is your 1st trip to OBX, be sure to take a day and drive down to
Hatteras Island. In the National Seashore, you can pull off at any of the
parking turn-outs after you go across the Bonner Bridge and you'll find
miles of deserted beaches! The small towns are a pleasant change from the
more touristy Nags Head area.
