After many years living in Outer Banks of NC, I had never climbed the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Mel’s friend Andy came to town, so we headed to Buxton on a slightly overcast day and made the 12 story hike to the top of the lighthouse. I’m glad we did it early in the spring when the weather was a bit cooler because I could see how that could easily turn into a sweat box. It is quite an amazing view from up there. We hung around for a few minutes taking in the view then made the decent back.
