TR: Corolla, NC Beach Day
Not really much of a trip report as it is some pics of a day at the beach. I've drive my Jeep on the beaches of the Outer Banks for years and years, wasn't sure how the truck and camper would fare. Turns out it did extremely well. No problems whatsoever. Aired down to 45 in the back and 32 in the front.
It was a beach day with our neighbors. They don't have a 4x4 :E so they drove my Jeep and a small trailer. We also had our former exchange student from Switzerland visiting us, and she really enjoyed the experience. We've become lifelong friends for sure.
A stop to stretch the legs on the way there. Mounted the Big Green Egg minimax on the Torklift Lock and Load. Designed to carry a generator but carried the egg perfectly. I never did use the generator so I sold it.

Made it to the spot we called ours for the rest of the day

Some of them went for a drive over the dunes to see some of the wild horses.

By this time I had drank a lot of rum and not enough water, tried to photobomb but got photobomb'd while doing the bombing. Some fun boogie boarding. And the DW took the reigns and drove the rig out. First time she drove it, and on the sand nonetheless.

Had a nice sunset view on the drive out. Neighbors thought we were going to tip over, but not even close. Must look precarious on the sand or something.
