Take a Break from Fishing

Today is National Public Lands Day. This day is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who help keep our public lands and parks in good condition. It is the largest single-day volunteer effort.  The volunteers will contribute their time by helping the park staff with small maintenance activities such as planting trees or cleaning up recreation areas.  Many small tasks equal a great effort.

What this day also means to us is that we can access many of our National parks for free. Yes, that’s right many of our National Parks are absolutely fee-free today.

So when you are tired of catching all of those fish or the family is at odds with you doing something just for you, take the family to one of our National Parks. Even though many of the duties have already been assigned or completed, any small gesture would be greatly appreciated by the staff. And it will give you and your family a chance to re-connect with our public lands.

So get out and enjoy it.

The Outer Banks have several parks here for you to enjoy. The one I like the most is the Wright Brothers National Memorial. So if you are in the area, stop by and get your picture taken in front of the memorial or just cruise the grounds. History will wrap you like a blanket.

Hope to see you there after the first bite.

Until next time, Tightlines – Capt. Tony
