Paddle to Oak Island (I think)

Just to let folks know......I did get my special use permit application approved to visit Oak Island. Got to get in there soon - going to Hawaii 10/22.
Pineywoman, you have to check out the Edwin Forsythe visitor center in Oceanville. They have an 8 mile drive around (ideal for you and the rug rat), and lots of good hiking trails.

I'll second that. it is a great drive with look out towers also. You can see A/C across the marshes too, which makes for a kind of cool contrast. the hiking trails are good this time of year, forget it in the summer...the greenheads and mosquitos are unbearble (and I have a pretty high tolerance for that) Also, Smithville is nearby which has stuff for kids and shops (you know, because your a girl and all) How old is your child, pineywoman?
