Enjoy a post 4th of July run with one of the toughest races known to man…ok, not that tough, but pretty hard. Steep hills, hot July weather, and running in sand, it’s a doozey! Welcome to the killer dunes at Jockey’s Ridge.
• Run or walk over the tallest sand dunes on the East Coast of the United States
• All skill levels are welcome. For those that want a challenge, push yourself to run the entire course without stopping. For those looking to take it a little easier, stroll the dunes and catch the beautiful scenic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the Roanoke Sound, and the Outer Banks. Even the kids can enjoy themselves heading up a dune and back in only 1/4 mile.

North Carolina Flag
June 14th is flag day, and we are pround to wave the NC flag…we’d wave an OBX flag if we had one.
PS – Upper 80′s and sun all week. Great week for some fun in the sun!
Just over that hill is a scene full of wonder. Is it a day of perfect surf, a summer day with sand that scorches your feet, glassy blue-green water, an empty beach you can claim as your personal paradise? Only one way to find out…let’s hit the beach!

Outer Banks Fishing
The water is a beautiful blue-green, and the last I heard almost 70 degrees. Sun is shining, skies are blue, and fish are being hooked! A great time to be fishing on the OBX.

Off Shore:
Archeologists in North Carolina are ready to release their grip on a Colonial-era resident who may have been a surviving member of Blackbeard’s pirate crew.
A Superior Court judge ruled the bones found in 1986 should be returned for reburial to the man’s descendants. Raleigh researcher and Outer Banks historian Kevin Duffus thinks the bones are the remains of Edward Salter, a former member of Blackbeard’s pirate crew who died 275 years ago.
Salter escaped being hanged after Blackbeard’s death and became a barrel-maker and respectable member of the colonial port town of Bath.
Duffus has sought genetic testing on the bones to confirm his theory.

Long live John’s Drive-in! If you’ve been, you know what we mean. If you haven’t been, you need to go…now. Classic OBX “fast food.”
It’s a hidden treasure on the beach road in Kitty Hawk. Try the dolphin boat and a peanut butter shake; you’ll thank me afterwards.

Outer Banks Daredevils No Hitter
Outer Banks Daredevils left-handed pitcher Chris O’Hare (Yale) made Coastal Plain League history at First Flight Baseball Complex on Tuesday night against the Edenton Steamers by throwing a complete-game no-hitter. The picture to the right is the team rushing the mound to celebrate at the end of the game.
The Outer Banks Daredevils play throughout the summer on the OBX; their stadium is centrally located in Kill Devil Hills at the First Flight school complex.
The Coastal Plain League is the nation’s hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 14th season, the Coastal Plain League features 15 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts. Furthermore, the CPL has had over 700 alumni drafted and 36 alums make their Major League debut thus far.
