BODIE LIGHTHOUSE

 Bodie is one of the lighthouses along the outer banks of NC.  This chain of islands is called the graveyard of the Atlantic because the dangerous shifting shoals have caused hundreds of shipwrecks since the 1600's.  All the lighthouses have different stripes painted on them so captains could recognize where they were--much less important today with GPS. Gary, Gabe and Sandy climbed it while I remained content to record their feat and chat with the ranger.
