| The little orange dot is where the lighthouse used to sit on that base. | Not only was the lighthouse moved, but the surrounding buildings as well. | There it is! All 4400 tons! |
| 
| 
|
| The base is still being settled | We step back & view as we drive down to the actual Cape Hatteras | Literally the tip of Cape Hatteras, very eerie to see the ocean crashing into itself from 2 sides. |

| Gloria just before she got wet. | Our ride down to the tip (walk or 4-wheel drive only). | Ben & Blazer on the tip.
