Do they use that brine solution where you're at?

I've visited there once. When you were in Outer Banks, did you air down? I' ve seen sign warning that you must air the tires down.

I was driving on an access road to the beach and came upon a dune. It was about 25ft high. I walked up it and saw two newer Durangos on the other side at the bottom. The one looked real stuck. Some people were coming up the hill and I asked what are those suv's doing. They said "The one Dodge attempted to drive up slowly and buried itself in the soft sand. The other one behind it cooked his transmission trying to yank his buddy out." I looked at their tracks they left behind and noticed the deep ruts. I figured with open diffs and a payload of family they were doomed to be stuck.

I turned around and left. With no cellular phone service I wasn't about to do anything foolish, (i.e. have fun.) I got in my
Impala and my wife and I backed out my dumb idea. and proceded to the ferry.

Someday I shall return there and enjoy the view again. Hopefully I will have a powertrax installed and my wife there to convince me not do go up that dune. We'll see. :^)

Lol...I learned the hard myself. I lost my tool box and my tackle box to rust as I stored them in the back of my truck a few summers ago while doing the Altantic Ocean thing. I'm a freshwater fisherman from the Dakotas, what the hell do I know about saltwater and tides! It was a worthwhile advbenture, but was I niave.
