There is a campground at the end of Okrakoke Island and I can't remember the name or find the phone number anywhere. If anyone has any information on this, please email me. I think it is the only campground on the island and plan on staying there this summer, 2001. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, we are getting married on 9/29/01 and are thinking about the Outer Banks for our honeymoon. Guy is from NC but has never been and we would love to be able to combine the trip with seeing family who can't home to the wedding (we are getting married in CA where we live). Two questions: 1. I am a little worried about
hurricanes? should I be? 2. We don't have a lot to spend on a vacation, is it possible to have a quiet peaceful getaway in the OB without spending a lot? If so any
accommodation recommendations? (ok I guess that was three questions) Thanks for any help you can give.

We have been coming to Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head for years and our all time favorite restaurant is the Seafood Buffet at THE WHARF, near the 12 mile post on the Beach road in Nags Head. There is a huge selection on the buffet and all are Great ! ! No surprise that the Fried Shrimp, Steamed Shrimp and the Fried Flounder are excellent, but so is everything else -- example: the pork barbeque is as good as any I have ever sampled anywhere -- and I have had plenty ! There is nothing on the buffet that isn't absolutely first rate! The price is very affordable. We find that our budget permits us to eat at The Wharf three times during our visit compared to only two times at any of the many other seafood buffets. Sure there is always a long line but you know it moves pretty fast because they seem to keep the buffet stocked high from op0ening until closing, and there is not the distraction or delay occasioned by the ordering, preparation and consumption of alcoholic beverages or aperitifs. Once you are inside it's all about eating as much as you want of the best food that we have found in the Outer Banks. Enjoy!

Hey! My best friend and I were interested in finding summer jobs in the Outer Banks area. I am a senior and he is a sophomore in college. Both of us are biology majors. We would love to find jobs that are fun and exciting, but we are
realisitc! Justin is very much into golf and wildlife, while I am heavily into horseback riding, volleyball and wildlife also. We are very eager and I think we can also say pretty versatile! If anyone knows of any opportunites that two level-headed college guys may take advantage of, please let me know. Thanks for all the help!

The outer banks get less busy the further south on the strand you travel. Nags Head and Kitty Hawk are on the northern end, which is a little busier, but my friends who have kids say it's perfect. My wife and I like Hatteras down towards the southern end where it's not busy at all. We stay at the Seagull Motel, which is very nice. We sun, rent surfboards (I suck), enjoy bonfires on the beach, eat fresh seafood at The Pilot House restaurant (grilled, herbed
wahoo!), and completely fall apart with relaxation. Believe me, we just went on an expensive Caribbean trip and (it was nice, but) I would totally trade it for time at Hatteras.

I will be vacationing on the sound side of Tuckahoe Drive (south of Duck). The description of the place I will be staying at said that a pier was within walking distance. Will the be any good fishing there during the first week of September? How deep is the water around there (I would like to do some wading and Fly-Fishing?) Any help would greatly be appreciated. Best regards,
