Ocracoke, Roanoke, and Grilled Cheese on a Stick

7/4/2010


Happy 4th of July! The OBX expedition has been enjoying the sunshine and 80 degree weather the past couple of days. They headed down to Ocracoke Island on the Ferry and established a new campsite in the sand dunes. They took a quick visit into the charming village, and then had dinner and smores by bonfire that evening. They also may have invented a new campfire tradition “grilled cheese on a stick.”  Please talk to your children to learn more about this technique. The following day was surf smorgasbord complete with skimboards, longboards, surf kayaks, and short boards. The winds were strong again that day and unfortunately the SUPs (Stand up Paddle Boards) weren’t available to us. We are hoping to get another chance at SUPs on the following day.

When Liza and Jason met up with the group they were setting up a well-shaded camp in the unique Frisco woods. They enjoyed some Beach Pizza, body surfing, and hucking the Frisbee. The next day they headed out on the Roanoke River for sea kayaking. We received the photo below documenting their safe arrival to the first tent platform. With the addition of new leader Liza on the program, this expedition continues to get better and better.
