miles for the day. We were lucky to visit the outer banks before the high season, which peaks during the summertime due to its lower seasonal humidity, a result of being surrounded by water. Between the long stretches of sand and dunes, the outer banks is primed for vacationers with its hotels, motels, rolls of vacation homes for rent, and low-rise condominiums. I would not want to be here on a bike or in a car during the peak season because there would be traffic jams all day long on their narrow two lane roads. Other than a few busy roads, especially where road work narrowed the lanes, we had a great day for riding with moderate winds, temperatures, and humidity; we were surprised to see that the temperature had reached 79 degrees at 4:00pm. Riding inland, the countryside with its mixture of woodlands, farms, and rural homes with the occasional farm animals, invoked within me, the Virginia of my imagination. Tomorrow, however, we'll be entering the real state of Virginia. Its difficult for me to imagine, but we have ridden 1,540 miles in a month of travel so far.

There's a motorcycle event in the outer banks with tens of thousands of riders. Good thing we're leaving.
