Thanks for the info, Tom. Always great to have very valuable input from folks local to the area being discusssed. Your insight will help Bill and any others thinking about visiting the OBX.

If he were to start at Currituck very early on Saturday, how jammed up would be be coming back south later in the morning? Currituck's web site appears to be somewhat out of date, but they indicate opening at 10 AM. Figuring a half hour to climb and hit the gift shop, he could be headed south by 1030 or so.

Welcome to the CF, and please do post about your wonderful area.
