Bambi and the ByPass
Some background on this column: The Exterior Banks has two roads once you are in Kitty Falcon, Kill The old serpent Hills, Nags Head. The Rim Road is the two alley road that fronts the sandy shore and the ByPass is the five narrow street road --two lanes each way and a winding lane.

Drivers entrance will not open, fender bashed in and of career, the mirror was totally gone and there are reasonable wires suspension our where it used to be.
