We wandered the dunes for about an hour and then headed for some shops that we'd passed that looked interesting. And then to the Outlet Mall to check out a few of those shops we hadn't done yet. Very nice day.

Jockey's Ridge State Park and shopping
Today we stayed in Nags Head and saw the sights here. It was a sunny day, but cold and the wind was really blowing. We headed to Jockey's Ridge State Park just down the road. This 400 acre park features the tallest natural sand dunes on the East Coast. Some are 85' high. Again, we had the place all to ourselves (who else would be wandering shifting sand dunes in a gale?). The blowing sand was fascinating to watch and we were all prepared for the cold, so it was an interesting walk over and between the dunes. It almost felt like we were in Antartica with the blowing snow pictures you always see. Lots cooler than when we were here several summers ago!
