Last Sunday, a dry day, Robert and I decided to get out of the house and "Out of Dodge". I am certainly not as talented as the rest of you folks when taking pictures, but I thought I would share our day with you.

Our first stop was in Edenton to find the last Roanoke River lighthouse that was moved there as a private residence. Looks like "Isabel" did a number on her. We were able to view her from 2 vacant lots where houses stood before the storm.







I can't believe the lens is still in the lantern room. Someone really needs to rescue it before it's destroyed. You can see a pane of glass is out and it's exposed to the weather

Our next stop was Plymouth to see the replica of the Roanoke River light that was lost to a storm. It was not open, and is only open on Saturday 1-3pm. We were a little disappointed that we could not go inside, but being a nice day we were enjoying the trip.





Next, we headed over to Manteo to the Roanoke Marshes replica, after stopping for a burger, and it looks like they are finishing up inside. I was hoping it was done and open, but since OBX is only a little over an hour's drive for us, we will go back as soon as we find out it's open. But,it sure looks good from the outside.





Today is a big difference from last Sunday. "Charley" blew through yesterday, and a couple tornados were spotted, one right here in Great Bridge (Chesapeake), a few mile northwest of us. Thank goodness.

I hope you enjoy the pictures, and if you critique, please be kind.

Standby folks, I'm getting Dave to help me as I've never done this before.
