VB to OBX

Take a trip from Virginia Beach to the Outer Banks of North Carolina without leaving your seat. If you can stand watching something this long, I will treat you to a bunch of my comments along the way. Nothing like an OBX trip on a summer weekend.

Not even mentioning Grandy Farm Market? Wat even.

[vbdenny]

@iheartwalle I should have, next time.

[iheartwalle]

@vbdenny good deal! As someone who lives in Grandy, I was thoroughly offended by this omission. :P

[vbdenny]

@iheartwalle Fully understood. I have driven by there hundreds of times and will be in a few weeks. I won't miss you guys this time.

it is so hard to imagine that with all that farmland, you are only an hour or 2 from the beach!! love the OBX!

[vbdenny]

@TheCravers3 Well yeah.  At your point the best way for you to obtain a house on the Outer Banks is to work your butt off in school. Smart people make a lot more money than dumb ones.

[vbdenny]

@TheCravers3  Got that right. Probaly buy a home down there when we retire.

How many miles does 168 run??

[vbdenny]

if I remember correctly, this was in early afternoon, maybe 2 or 3. Yeah, the Outer Banks aren't like they were in the past. When I first went there it was prety much empty. We usually stay in Duck or Seascape in Kitty Hawk now. We stayed in KDH a couple years ago but migrated north.

What time of day was that? I usually make it to that stretch around 8-9 am to avoid the heavier stuff. OBX has discouraged me over the past few years with how bad crowds have been. I went to Hatteras Island for years to get away from crowds, but they seemed to have made their way there too. Great video!
