Kill Devil Hills First Flight

After leaving Williamsburg and doing many U turns we ended up at Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks where Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the Wright Flyer for the first time on December 17, 1903. It has always been my (David) wish to visit this sight ever since I learned about the Wright's efforts as a child and the self funded/low cost ($1000 for four years of testing including the powered flyer)/ and logistics fact of it. I know it is only a spot on the ground but something I have always felt very strongly about. So now I/we have been there and I was very moved by being there. The National Parks run the site and it is exceptional. Enough about that. By the end of the day we made it by back roads to an off the track place called New Bern in North Carolina which, by the way, is where Pepsi-Cola was invented/conceived. A long day on the road and nice to enjoy a beer or two after. Much further South to go tomorrow. PS we went to the Outback Steakhouse nearby (Genuine Aussie Tucker apparently including Kookaburra Wings and the Alice Springs Cheese Quesadilla - a mexican dish!-) and made Sean our waiter's night with giving him 5 kangaroos, on a coin that is.
