And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
With all apologies to the Talking Heads we know where said highway goes – wherever we want. Eat that train tracks!
I put out a call to our Vacations staff for photos of summer and all that it entails. The following are their contributions.
Don’t worry, if your favorite writer didn’t submit a photo as they’ve probably got their own story brewing, or they’re just lazy, but probably the story thing.

The lighthouse at Cape Hatteras National Seashore Hatteras, NC
There are 248 narrow, spiraling steps to the top. The climb is strenuous. It is hot and humid, there is no air conditioning and the stairwell is noisy with two way traffic and only one handrail. Individuals with heart conditions, lung conditions, bone conditions, sensitivity to heat, stress or noise, those with difficulty running, walking, climbing stairs or standing erect, people with claustrophobia, agoraphobia, myctophobia, melano-leukophobia, climacophobia, bathmophobia or any other serious medical or mental condition should use their own discretion as to whether to climb the lighthouse tower.
I chose to stand outside and take a picture.
