Many years ago the kid and I were traveling down the east coast and OBX (to see Cape Hatteras after it was moved - supposed to be still moving but they got in too much of a hurry.) We happened to be at Hoooper Strait on a weekend they offered the overnight, but unfortunately we had already set up at our camp. Too bad because I think this would have been a great experience.

One thing that would concern me - "a drop-in river cruise". Does that mean they drop you in the river, drop the boat into the river, what?
