Description This is a nice route that takes you south into North Carolina, thru Edenton North Carolina, then over to the Outer Banks. Reaching the Outer Banks is especially nice on a hot summer day. The breeze across the ocean is a great relief. Coming back up is pretty nice as long as the traffic is relatively calm. If it wasn't for the traffic on the return trip I would gladly give this route 4 stars.
Points of Interest Elizabeth City (good place for a quick lunch), Outer Banks Harley-Davidson, First Flight, Kitty Hawk
