Today we went up to Corolla and the northern end of the island. We stopped and visited the Currituck Lighthouse and the historic park. I can't walk very long yet but am working on it. It is not so much the knee when walking it is the repercussions later in the day, the knee slowly gets tired. Nothing unexpected, just frustration at not being able to do what I want to do.

Several items of note on our drive. The number of rental units is phenomenal. I never knew that renting an "apartment" was so popular. I guess groups or families get together and rent a unit for a week or two for vacation. We were just surprised at how many units are available. The road is only a 2 lane road, traffic in the summer must be bumper to bumper. There doesn't seem to be many restaurants or stores on the northern end to support what the summer population must be.

We had planned to visit the wild horses in Corolla but the area is totally commercialized. The horses are only viewable with a 4wd vehicle or a commercial jeep tour. Not like Assateague where the horses just wander around for everyone to see. Very disappointed in the commercialism and we were not interested in the jeep tours.
