Ocracoke
Posted on | July 15, 2009 | 9 Comments
Another (belated) post-in-pictures – Ocracoke! We left directly after work on a Friday in June and just made the last ferry (11:30pm!) to the island for a weekend of music, biking, camping, family, great friends and great coffee – and knitting on the long car ride, of course!
Ruth Wyand, Tad’s aunt and a talented blues guitarist and singer/songwriter
Kate McNally, whom I could not find much information on, but what a beautiful voice!
Ocracoke is such a special place – We had a wonderful time, as we have on all our trips this spring (Oh! It’s summer now? Really??) – And are currently planning a “real” vacation (aka more than just a regular or long weekend!) to San Francisco at the end of August, we are so looking forward to it!
More updates to come (really!)

Wow, looks like you had a wonderful trip. Your photos really tell a story. My favorite is the one with the dreads.

So bummed you’ll be in SF after I’ve moved! Well, technically a year after I moved, but still. If you need any advice on things to see or places to eat, drop me a note!

You went to Ocracoke? And camped in the Nat’l Park Campground? That’s part of the fabric of my life – incredible. I grew up camping with my family and dogs there for two weeks every August – back when we started, all the campground had were pump cold showers (took two people) and port-o-potties. I just reconnected with the park ranger we met there in the 70s – he’s still there and in charge now. Mom and I sprinkled some of dad’s ashes on the campground beach last spring when we went down for an old family friend’s wedding.
Man – I would have driven down – you MUST tell me the next time you’re in the OBX – we’re there every weekend!!!

[...] – NO, MDSW, Boone (no pics, lots of rain, some hiking, exceptionally relaxing), and Ocracoke. All these have made for very happy times, but very full schedules when we have been home. And now [...]

Incredible pics Mel. They really tell a story. I’m especially drawn to the shots of women playing music…you captured those so well. And the one with the dreads…fantastic capture! Looks like a blast…glad you had such a good time!
