hatteras & Driving
The drive to hatteras is getting better once you get to NC
From I-95 take US 64 east, four lane 70 mph for a while, short chunk of four lane divided, 55mph, then 4 lane 70 mph until Columbia then the dreaded 70 or so miles to Nags Head.
Used to take me 4 hours, now takes 2.5
still, 'em out-ah-staht plates look attractive to the local constabulary
the ferry system is great if you've got a lot of time to kill.
hatteras for me, via ferry is about a 7 hour ordeal
driving to Swanquarter to catch that ferry, unless you're going to Ocracoke, is madness, you're only an hour and a half from Nags Head in Swanquarter, but the ferry to Ocracoke is two and a half hours on the boat, plus the ferry from Ocracoke to Hatteras Island. You could be set up and riding by the time you land in Hatteras Village from the Swanquarter Ferry.
Let me know if you need any NC local knowledge away from Hatteras.
