As we headed south, we saw hundreds of huge rental houses like these. They rent for anywhere from about $1,000 to $4,000 per week depending upon size and season.
Our first stop was the Cape Hatteras Light Station where we decided to test our stair climbing skills on 268 steps.
Marlon has finished counting the 1.25 million bricks used to construct the light house and is ready to start climbing.
There are several landings to stop and rest on along the climb.
We made it to the top!
The light house was moved 2,870 feet inland during 1999/2000 due to shore erosion.
The light house casts its shadow...
Doug made it back down the stairs and left Marlon up there. Here Marlon risks life and limb by putting his hand in the air.
For a video of the top of the Cape Hatteras Light Station, see the next blog.
