Just got done vacuuming/ brushing out all the sugar sand from inside of the jeep . Sugar sand is the debil ! The clean up was worth it though as I had a great time wheeling in the sand again . Some of the old spots are still around , and I managed to find a few of the wild horses .
When I lived at the beach all of us ran worn out all terrains as they were tried and true . With that being said I was expecting to have some issues with the Destination MTs deep lugs in the sand . One of the cardinal rules of going out on the beach is to air down , but I wanted to see what the MTs would do at full pressure . Surprisingly enough there was little to no digging issues and I was able to run in 2wd unless there was a dune or heavy washout . The Destination MTs were a good performer in the sand. The only negative over the last 10,000 miles I can find is that the corners of the lugs are starting to cut up a little . There is still a lot of tread , I wonder how many miles I will get out of them ? Enough talking heres a few pictures from the Outer Banks of N.C.

Some of the locals were rowing net with a Dory . Tough work , but they had nice weather for it .

All the way at the North end on the NC / VA state line . Long ago you could drive all the way up to VA Beach .

One of the remaining open areas . Lots of fun in the "outback".

My kids would have gone nuts for all this if they were with me .

The back roads are where you usually find the horses .

At the end of the day as I was leaving the horses came out to the beach .

That's a nice bit of scenery you posted, there.  Any reason to not get a beach run organized for the summer?
We will be there for the month of June , so I am open to a beach run . Its a lot more crowded then than when I took the pictures in October .

That might be workable on my end, but why not just wait until October?

Sept and Oct are the nicest time to be on the Outer Banks , I try to go down for at least a long weekend every fall .
