Beginnings of OBX

By admin | August 26, 2008

The North Carolina outer banks or OBX for short as some people call it represent so much. For one it could almost be considered where the heart of what is called the USA began. This is because North Carolinas Outer Banks is where the first English colonists tried to settle with horrible results. And most people recognize that today as the lost colony.

On a brighter note though, it is also the grounds where the Wright brothers launched the first flighty airplane from a sand dune at Kitty Hawk.

One thing though that has caused some trouble is the national preservation of these sea shores. There is always a danger of destroying it, and there are foundations like the Cape Hatteras National Seashore association. If you get a chance to visit this wonderful place you can see what makes it so special. There is a lot of wildlife as well to preserve, so lets make sure we do our part to keep it tomorrow what it is today.
