    On July 20, 1969 famed Outer Banks photographer Aycock Brown took a radio out with him and snapped this picture at the Wright Bros Memorial at the exact moment that #NeilArmstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon. dare150.com #dare150 #outerbanks #obx

    NC Hwy. 12 on Hatteras remains closed but we’ve made it past this morning’s high tide. Vulnerable portions are still covered with significant water and sand—especially the north ends of Buxton and Hatteras Village. NCDOT’s road pros are working around the clock to clear the way!
