still more OBX
Drove up to Corolla today to wander around our old stomping grounds.
On the way, I saw this fella, a tribute to the name "Nags Head". The online Britanica entry for Nags Head explains the name: "It was so named, according to legend, because unscrupulous ship-wreckers tied lanterns to the necks of ponies (“nags”) and marched them along the high dunes to simulate the lights of boats at anchor—a ruse that tricked captains into running their ships aground on the shoals, where their cargo was seized."
In Corolla, spring is springing at the lighthouse.
