Camping At Ocracoke

[Speed]

We went camping at Ocracoke the first weekend in June. My brother, his wife, and a few of his friends went with us. We loaded our camping gear in a truck, which a couple of the ladies drove, and the rest of us rode our motorcycles. We had a good time, and I took a few pictures.

First, the ferry ride over to Ocracoke. It takes 2 hours and 20 minutes to get there from Cedar Island.

BTW, the pink helmet is Dawn's!

The Ocracoke Lighthouse from the ferry as we are coming into Ocracoke Island.

The ferry from Swan Quarter.

A couple sitting on the rock jetty.

It was a gray, overcast day.

Some night shots. I cranked the ISO up to 3200 for these and took them by moonlight. The hardest part was getting the camera to focus in such low light.

The next day we rode our motorcycles up to Cape Hatteras.

Great to see a real post from you Speed. Love the night shots that second one is a real killer. Look to me like the kind of weekend that Joy and could really get into. Hope all is well with you and Dawn.

From the top....

Dawn at 28mm, 70mm, and 200mm.

She opted not to climb the lighthouse and enjoy the sun instead.

Thanks Larry! We had a great time. All is well, just waiting on 5:00. After I get home from karate tonight, we have a date in the hot tub! ;-)

And finally, the last ones!!!

My brother Cliff.

Dawn's favorite shot.

Last but not least, the one my mom says makes her look like she's 15.

I'm with you on the 5:00 thing. We build a new deck this spring and Joy and I have enjoyed several intimate late night dinners on the deck with the stars and a bottle of wine.

Really loving your group shots on the light house stairs. You rock Robert.

Stop it! Spare me my blushes!

Oh wait, I don't blush. ;-)

Thank you Larry. I do appreciate the comments!

That is the way to do it buddy!!!

Spend all the time you can with your lovely bride.

And give her our best.
