Kill Devil Hills

Hey - I just got back from there. A few days in Kitty Hawk, then Hatteras Island (farther South). Beautiful place. Still haven't even actually been to the Wright Brothers Monument, though, after going there every summer as long as I can remember. But I do know they preserved the actual hill they used, and that is what the monument now stands on top of.
