Kitty Hawk and Roanoke Island, North Carolina: The Wright Brothers and the Lost Colony

Decided to stay in Washington, North Carolina, on the edge of Pamlico River. It was the first city in the name of George Washington. Due to its strategic location in a waterway, was an important supply center for both Revolution and Civil War. The city was subjected to the numerous times that the torch during the wars. Some homes in the late eighteenth century still survive, even with bullets barrel embedded in their wooden frames.

Led to historic Roanoke Island Fort Raleigh and the Lost Colony. The only remains of a settlement is the movement land of the original fort. The colony, which is characterized by the birth of the person for the first time in English the New World (Virginia Dare), has long since disappeared. Speculation is that either the settlers were killed by the natives, or joined to the natives. You never know the answer.

In the Outer Banks, a short distance from the island Roanoke is Kitty Hawk, where Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the first powered airplane on December 17 1903. The site was the subject of extensive reforms and developments to accommodate the crowd expected for the centennial celebration. I always thought it took off from the hill where the monument. In reality, it took off from the level of soil. The markers designate the distances of the four flights that day were full of events. They used a catapult device along a runway for takeoff. Only later in San Antonio, Texas, added the wheels so the plane could take off under its own power. The area around Kitty Hawk has become a mecca for those addicted to the beach. UGLY!

Just south of Kitty Hawk is Jockey's Ridge State Park. From here you can test your skills in hang gliding from the dunes of shifting sand, as evidenced by the many gliders in the sky. The dunes are spectacular as the Indiana Dunes or Sleepy Bear Dunes in Michigan, but they are sufficient.
