My first visit to Cape Hatteras National Seashore on the Outer Banks of North Carolina came quite a few years ago, when I was in college and a friend and I drove down from New Jersey in his tiny and cramped Chevy Vega to do some fishing. It was a wonderful trip, and the seashore a great destination if you love surfcasting.

But after that trip it was quite a few decades until I was able to return to Cape Hatteras. That was in 2010 when the burning issue of the day was the Park Service’s work to craft an off road vehicle plan that would suit ORV enthusiasts and surfcasters who reached their favorite spots by driving on the beaches, and wildlife such as sea turtles, piping plovers and other shore bird species that rely on the beaches.

Since those days, controversy over beach access for the most part has settled down. To find out how life is on the national seashore these days, we’ve convinced Superintendent Dave Hallac to join us on Sunday's podcast.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
