We just returned from the OBX for a wonderful week. We rented a beach house in Southern Shores with another family and managed to do a bit of lighthousing, as well as visit Cindy and Woody at the Lighthouse Gallery. One thing I noticed at Bodie Island light, they have built a wood fence around the base of the tower. Sure took away from a nice photo opportunity IMHO. Regardless, we had a wonderful time!
