Hurricane Sandy Road Damage to Hatteras Island - Driving on and off with...

This is video shot by a gardener that I follow on youTube. 

Here is a look at the damage to the highway at the north end of Hatteras Island following Hurricane Sandy. Most of this was shot on 11/21/12, almost exactly a month since the hurricane! Work and progress has been slow due to the challenges imposed by the terrible weather we have had since the hurricane. The only way on and off the island right now is by either a ferry or a 4wd only access road that is open form 5am - 10pm depending on the weather and the tides. I don't see our situation changing for several weeks yet. Thanks for watching, I will try to update you as the situation changes.

Bird Table & My Table

Another day in the Cabin a bit long and boring unless you like to watch birds. I built a primitive bird table and set it up outside the cabin and was amazed at the number and variety of birds that arrived within a few hours of putting out the first bird seed. I also did my first cooking in the wood stove.
