Surreal Estate

Always, this would be my view of choice. It is the view from the dunes. One Mr. Twiddy seems to monopolize the surreal estate here in the OBX. Beyond the fence in Corolla, and all the way to the Virginia border, homes are accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicle. Sandy side roads off the beach lead into dune digs. It's incredible. Huge, multi-family dwellings are mostly rental properties and occupied only during the summer months. There seems to be no recession here!

Intriguing is Mr. Twiddy's office, the Dune Branch. It was an old Coast Guard station. I would have loved to have seen the OBX, back in the day. It has only been in this overactive development stage for the last couple of decades. I hope the powers that be know when to stop.
