We spend the day touring Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks of NC. We learn about the deadly German U-Boat attacks, visit the graves of their victims, learn about the Civil Air Patrol efforts to stop the U-Boats, visit the place that the Pirate Edward Teach aka "Black Beard" was killed, then visit a local brewery to wind up our day.

Cool stuff

[@DBarnim]

Loved your adventure.

[@DFWMoose]

Thank for sharing and the history lessons. I never realized that the Civil Air Patrol was so involved during WWII.

[@ACE-or8bo]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, ALSO A GREAT HISTORY LESSON

[@ON8JP]

Nice trip, really well narrated. I enjoyed it.

[@domfer2540]

Thanks for your remarks about CAP. As I a cadet member from age of 13 to 19, it was great experience. I was certified in search and rescue and ham operations. We built our own radios and used them during hurricanes in south Florida with CD. I took flying lessons at age of 16 and enjoy flying to this day. It also helped with a career in the Air Force from Vietnam Nam to Desert Storm. Used my lessons from pilot training to navigate a mission of chinooks. Thanks

My mother grew up near Lumberton, NC, which is within an hour of the coast. She remembers black-out drills during WWII.

Loved the history lesson! I had no idea of the CAP’s part in WWII. Thanks for sharing! -RJ

Hi John,I just made an OBX trip on my 2011 Spyder RT from Corolla Ocracoke.Stay 10/1 on Nags Head,11/1 Hatteras 11/2 Ocracoke, 11/3 Ferry to Ceder Island and home to Goldsboro NC. Had a grate time!

Wow! My mother was in the CAP back in the late 50's early 60's I believe. I think she was stationed out of Paterson or Totowa NJ. I wish I knew more about what she did in the CAP and asked more questions. Unfortunately she passed a few years ago. I do still have her uniform which is kinda cool. 👍 Great vid and thank you for reminding me about my mother. I do miss her.

J & M, I truly enjoy your videos. I like to view them with a morning coffee or an evening Bourbon. Thank you for sharing and please keep it up. Hope to cross paths one day.

[@johnlizadventures6558]

Great video J & M... lots of history and much new to me. All my trips there have been day trips and while seeing much of the easily accessible sites, I have not gathered much of the outlying history. Thanks for sharing the experience. It will certainly serve to stimulate our visit next spring. Ride safe and often, John and Liz

[@theSMYRNAcowboy]

I knew about the U-Boat attacks but not about Blackbeard. Very cool man.

[@chasinshade1103]

Really enjoyed this video. I finally subscribed. As a fellow RTL rider I appreciate you sharing your journey. Ride safe.

[@HetteshWorld]

We both loved the video. also enjoyed the history lesson. especially since a lot of that seems to be lost in our school system.

[@billwilliams9527]

Intresting video, love the WWII history, Millie and I need to do that ride from FL. Maybe this spring or summer. Thanks.

[@the-d-man1013]

I always say your videos always have great education a lot of laughter and tons and tons of fun thank you for taking us along on the Journey.🍻🍻. PS. John did you guys get good gas mileage with those bikes.🤣🤣

[@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog]

Did the first millage check in some time on this trip. We averaged 34.3 mpg, fully loaded. our max speed was 65 (better gas millage) We must have got some bad gas outside of Wilmington with mileage of 29.6 (that took our average down) Per top off: 38.3, 36.1, 35.9, 29.6, and 35.9 MPG.

[@TheParanormalSide]

We live in Nc and go to Ocracoke Island every year. And we love it. We also have made a few videos from Ocracoke and its Haunting Histories on our channel. You have a new subscription here. Thanks.

[@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog]

I need to take a look at your channel, thanks

[@TheParanormalSide]

@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog thanks. Well deal with the Paranormal side of things. But I try to get real history as close as we can.
