LINDA
PRESTON AND I (Dr. ROBERT HOLT) VISITED
THE OUTER BANKS, MANTEO, AND ORACOKE
ISLANDS IN EARLY MAY, 2011 AND TOOK THESE PICTURES! (OUR
DOG MAX WENT ALONG, TOO!)
Besides pictures at the Wright brothers park and replicas, we wrode the
free ferry to Oracoke island, visited the famous old lighthouse there, and
crossed to the Cape Carteret area on the 3 hour ferry. At Cape
Hattaras we crossed the bridge to Manteo Island and viewed the replica of
the fort put up to protect the 'Lost Colony' -- the first attempt to
colonize America by the British supported by Sir Walter
Raleigh. Virginia Dare was the first white child born to
these would-be colonists. The photograph of what seems to be a
UFO we assume to be a replica also. No little gray
aliens appeared when I approached with my camera.
