The BUGS! The Horror, the Horror

Swarms of mosquitoes, biting flies, and gnats greeted our road weary travelers as they disembarked the Okracoke Ferry. A small child was carried away by the savage beasts before her poor parents could rescue her. After grieving momentarily, we headed to our campground located in Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Our campsite was nestled near sand dunes that separated our site from the ocean. After setting up camp, we headed to town for supplies and a look around. The sleepy little Okracoke Village comes alive during the summer tourist season. Grilled chicken and asparagus sedated the happy couple and sleep overwhelmed them like Okracoke bugs on babies.
