I am a member of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society, which is a great thing because it means I get to keep up with what is happening with North Carolina's lighthouses (Bodie Island restoration project is a good recent example) through their newsletter and also support a good cause. Once a year, the OBLHS has an annual gathering, usually at or near one of the Outer Banks lighthouses. I hadn't been to one in several years, but this year it was here on Ocracoke. When the Society gets together, they arrange several fun and educational events, and this year was no exception. They managed to put so many fun activities into Saturday that it is worthy of several blogs, so this is the first one.
The first activity of the day was learning about the Ocracoke ponies. Laura, the NPS caretaker for the ponies, met the group at the pony pen and told us all about them, while we enjoyed watching a few of them eat breakfast.
Then, Laura took us back into the barn area, for an up close visit with some of the ponies.
