I took my weekend to drive to see the Atlantic Ocean.
This is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
It’s recognized all over the world for its barber shop black swirl. Since much of the land had eroded between the lighthouse and the sea, it was in danger of being swept away. So it was moved half a mile inland in 1999.
Below is the sunset I saw from my campground at Ocracoke Campground and a crab I found on the beach.
Gossip is gossip, as these two civil war reenactors can attest to while making lunch at Kings Mountain Military Park.
It wouldn’t be community journalism without photos of the Friday night football game.

Living in Charlette at the moment, crashing in the spare bedroom of another photographer while I find a place to live in Gastonia.
One of the things that’s different here is the amount of air traffic going into Charlette.

Let me tell you, these old men are very serious about their horseshoes!
Settled into North Carolina a bit and have made some friends.
This is Rico here making a delicious dinner for us.
The short pit-stop at home in Nebraska gave way to another adventure to the east coast. En route to North Carolina, for an internship at the Gaston Gazette, I camped along the way . . . cheaper than hotels & I get to see the country’s great outdoors!
I took this at dawn from my campsite in Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks. Doesn’t get any better than this!
Second day in Missouri on my road trip to the east coast.
Took a hike along the Black River in the Johnson Shut-Ins State Park. Cool river, great place.
