TECORE to MORA - Day 6 - Apr 22

Today I planned to start heading west towards Missouri for the next weekend's MORA (Midwest Offroad Adventure) event. The weather remained great although a bit unstable as some thunderstorms were moving through the area all morning.

There was definitely more to check out at the Outer Banks and its a place I would like to come back to and stay longer:

  • Kitty Hawk
  • Wright Brothers Memorial
  • Sand dunes at Jockeys Ridge Stage Park
  • Some fishing from the beaches
  • Ocracoke Island and the ferry back to the mainland
  • Some camping in the more remote areas

After grabbing some fresh-cooked crab cakes at an oceanside seafood stand, I headed over the Washington Baum and Virginia Dare Memorial bridges to get back to the mainland. Once there, Hwy 64 follows the Alligator River/Canal for a while.

My destination that night was the Days Inn in Morganton, NC which is at the foothills of the Appalachians.
