Albemarle Sound, NC (USA)
Left Norfolk at 1230. Drove south on I-64, got off at Battlefield BLVD. Continued on VA-168 and then VA-104 until I hit US-17. Went near Dismal Swamp and crossed the NC border. Followed US-17 until I got to Elizabeth City. Continued along the Albemarle Sound for awhile - passing through Hertford (home of Catfish Hunter) and the town of Edenton. Changed to NC-32 and crossed Albemarle Sound. Switched to US-64 on the other side and drove through the East Dismal Swamp area. Crossed Alligator River into Dare County, started driving on US-264. Crossed Croatan Sound at Manns Harbor. Located Fort Raleigh and explored the Lost Colony park on Roanoke Island. Found a place that did a "Lost Colony" play in the summer - I'll have to check that out someday... Drove down to Manteo and crossed over to Nags Head. North on US-158 along the Outer Banks. Stopped to see Wright Brothers Monument. It got dark, so I had to change my plans to keep looking around and headed back. Took 158 back towards Norfolk. Got on NC-168 at Barco and it became VA-168. Home at 1845.
