We saw all kinds of deer tracks crossing the vehicle entrance to the beach, good size tracks. Had an eagle fly over the campground while we were there too!
We also got 12-13 channels off the pods antennae but weren’t to impressed with them.
We really liked it, it’s going to be our new spot for the OBX. Though I did miss being close to Lisa’s pizza and the hot wings!!

Tons of deer down here, too many. I believe I saw a red wolf once while driving between Nag's Head and Oregon Inlet. Hard to tell because I understand that once they reintroduced them in Alligator River they began interbreeding with the coyotes. 

IMHO OTA TV is pretty pointless anymore, I'm planning on taking my antenna off to make room for more solar. The cell signal at Oregon Inlet is about the weakest along Hiway 12 but it comes in ok with my booster, so Netflix and Hulu are good...

What I like about Oregon Inlet is you're only about 10 minutes from Nag's Head and less than 30 from Kitty Hawk, so you have all kinds of restaurants and even a movie theater to choose from. From here in Hatteras Village dinner and movie is out of the question, a 3 hour round trip is just too much for an evening. But from Or inlet its easy. So sometimes we go camping to get closer to civilization...

I know the feeling! We live in Vermont’s Northeast Kingtom, we are an hour and a half to any decent mall or large town for really nice restaurants etc. For something it is easier to go up to Sherbrooke, QUe.

Yep, between Thanksgiving and Easter there are few visitors to Hatteras Island, so pretty much everything shuts down in the winter. The year round population of Hatteras Island is only about 1500 families so it turns into a 60 mile long rural village. 

Its not sub zero like Vermont can be but when its 35-40 degrees, raining, and blowing 30+ knots, it feels pretty dang cold by our standards. When the wind drops we do get some days in the high 50's or low 60's in winter which makes for a nice break.  I think pretty much anywhere you go on the East Coast you  can get 6 months of good weather, just different months.
