But going both ways. Now you get what it is like on the Outer Banks of North Carolina from Memorial Day until Labor Day. There were times when it took almost fifteen minutes just to pull out onto Hwy 12.

(Down home, we call all the visitors 'touron' with the plural being 'tourii'! There are also nicknames for sections of the beach. One very nice beach area is called 'Coquina' but we always called it 'little Ohio' due to the abnormal number of that license plate compared to the others in the parking lot.)

Usually, there's an area on the span with only one lane each way. Tough to reverse. JustABozoOnThisBus Jul 2023 #10
