The shifting sand dunes of the Outer Banks are best observed at Jockey's Ridge State Park, located in Nags Head, NC. Geologists suggest that the height and location of the dunes can vary by dozens of feet each year.

In pursuit of my 2000th geocache, I explored Virginia's False Cape State Park today. It is located along the Atlantic coast just south of Virginia Beach, VA. While the four and a half mile hike across the sand dunes in the hot sun was brutal, it could not have been a better experience.
