Oregon Inlet Campground was our third National Seashore Campground on this trip up the Outer Banks, and it did not disappoint. The biggest difference is that this campground has electric and water sites on one side of the campground. The weather at the end of May was perfect, so we were totally fine boondocking. In the 3 weeks we were in the Outer Banks, we never had to run our generator once!
Camping in Oregon Inlet was the perfect location to take a trip out to Bodie Lighthouse. Just like all of the other lighthouses we visited in the OBX, Bodie has an incredible history including the fact that this was actually the third Bodie Lighthouse build in this spot! If you do take a trip out to this lighthouse, be sure to sign up for the lighthouse tour well in advanced (it was over a 2 hour wait when we were there) and walk out along the boardwalk to the marshes!
This spot also was close enough to drive to Roanoke Island and check out where the Lost Colony was…well, lost! The history behind these 117 colonists that went missing with absolutely no trace is facinating and the Visitor Center there was stunning. The Lost Colony drama that is put on in the park each summer hadn’t started yet when we were visiting, but if you get a chance, we have heard it is a great show!
The hidden gem of this trip up the islands was our stop in Manteo, North Carolina, where there is a cute little downtown with shops, restaurants and hotels right on the water next to a marina. There is also a little lighthouse that you can walk out to on the bay with a free museum at the bottom. Our favorite part was the boardwalk that follows along the water for what appears to be close to a mile with built-in benches along the walkway. This sweet little town is a place we could picture ourselves living. It was so perfect looking, we almost felt like we were in the movie, The Truman Show!
Stay tuned for the next episode where we get to check out the Wright Brothers National Park and Kitty Hawk, NC! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Man-tee-oh as we Virginian’s pronounce it, I saw the Roanoke play 47 years ago, I think I enjoyed it. I was in a motel with my family on Ocracoke in August of 1986, when I got the call from American Airlines that they wanted me to come fly for them. We loved that ferry ride too, lots of good memories! I was a 10 year Army pilot then but was able to get discharged an report to American starting school in October. Spent 17 years flying for them.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So cool to hear how different people pronounce all of these places! Someone from NC told us it was pronounced a different way! What a cool place to get such a great call! Thank you so much for your service! 🇺🇸

[@srameypr]

@@FindingOurSomeday They probably pronounced it "Manny-oh" because North Carolinians don't pronounce the "t." And it is BOW-dee (bow as in bow and arrow). But my fave NC place name not spelled as it's pronounced is Conetoe. (Scroll down for the pronunciation. . . . . . kuh-NEE-duh

[@rogerlay8183]

30 years ago, Andy Griffith used to promote and actually perform in the Lost Colony play. Man-te-o, not Matao... I would also suggest Beaufort/Morehead City, NC area, and take the ferry to Cape Lookout Lighthouse. The distinctive patterns on the NC lighthouses were to allow sailors to know where they were since all of the lighthouses looked alike when built. Currituck, in Corolla, NC is the only one that was unpainted

[@waynehogue2499]

Just love your New England pronunciation of Bodie (long O)! Also taught me something else. I didn’t know about the boardwalk from the lighthouse. Thanks again and safe travels back through Virginia.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I even looked that one up , that’s what the internet said to say 🤷‍♂️😂

[@waynehogue2499]

@Finding Our Someday That’s so funny! My wife and I just love your videos! Hope to meet up with you guys on the road.

[@paulawilliams7337]

BOH-dee Island lighthouse - Legend is that it was named after the many bodies that washed ashore from centuries of shipwrecks in the Outer Banks' Graveyard of the Atlantic. Locals didn't want to discourage people from coming so changed the pronunciation. Manteo - man-tee-ow is on Roanoke Island in Dare County. The Lost Colony is the longest-running (85th year) outdoor drama in the US. Cro-a-tan or “Croatoan” was the name of an island south of Roanoke, now Hatteras Island, which at that time, was home to a Native American tribe of the same name. Supposidly White found the word "Croatoan" carved into a post and "Cro" etched into a tree with no trace of the village. Always love to see you traveling and learning new things! Seeing you on the coast in NC is so exciting... Can hardly wait for your next adventure!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We were worried that we were pronouncing it wrong so we looking it up and it said that it was actually pronounced "body" but we didn't see that it had been changed because of the history of the name! Next time we will just ask some locals! Though I do think it is funny that people from Virginia pronounce the names different than people from NC! WE have gotten three different pronunciations for Manteo! We are excited to go back and see The Lost Colony next time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@donnagriffin9351]

The "T" in Manteo is actually silent. Lol Manny-o. And Bah-dee is correct. The Native Americans may have said Cro-ah-toe-in. But we say Cro-uh-tan.

[@paulawilliams7337]

@@donnagriffin9351 so true - like Hat-rus and Or-gun Inlet

[@kevinboffa3062]

The last time I saw the Lost Colony was when Andy Griffith was in it. I thank that was in the late 70’s

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So cool! Someone wrote to us on last week's video saying that their grandmother performed with Andy Griffith in The Lost Colony many years ago! Must have been amazing!

[@jamiebowman1673]

That vine is called a scuppernong vine. Us southerners use it just like a grape(eat it or make wine from it).

[@katrinateachey1034]

The Lost Colony play is awesome! We had front and center seats and it just doesn’t get any better.😊

[@DavidOnder]

As you learned, the entire Outer Banks is amazing. It is just so different than anywhere I have ever been. The Lost Colony play is definitely worth seeing. And you can stay almost anywhere in OBX and enjoy the rest. You should also check out the Southern Outer Banks - Morehead City, Beaufort, Emerald Isle, and others. Also a great experience, just not as remote.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

There’s definitely a lot more of the coast we need to explore, we need to go back for the lost colony play!

[@michellerichardson4200]

I totally agree about OBX being a wonderful place to visit. It’s beautiful and yes, lots of family and free things to do!! If y’all get back to the area the Elizabethan Gardens, right next to the Lost Colony, are lovely. We love going to lighthouses and have seen so many on the East Coast; esp New England. Maine is one of our favorite places!! I hope y’all were able to make it to Assateague Island NS. We’ve been to both ends and loved it. The horses are so fun and bring a smile to my face every time!! Love coming along your family adventures! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Thank you for watching and for the many recommendations! We saw the Elizabethan Gardens but didn't have time to explore them the day we were on the island. Thank you for joining us each week!

@@FindingOurSomeday when you went to Ocracoke , did you get to visit the old graveyards...back in 1700s and 1800s, whole families buried next to each other. I took pictures of the graves and came home and researched it. I just recently discovered your videos. I love Corey's awesome photography and your videos make me feel like one of the family. Its always been a dream of mine to RV , but I am old lady now and don't think I could talk my cats into it. Thanks for sharing your adventures

yall cracking us up with the pronunciation of "Bodie" lighthouse and Manteo/Croatan.. We love you guys here on the outer banks. Love yall and safe travels.Yall are the epitome of "awesome family".

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Man! We even looked this one up! The original pronunciation is actually "body" because of the bodies that washed up there on shore from the Graveyard of the Atlantic, but after a while the locals didn't like the connotation of that name so they started to call it Bowdie instead. Next time we just need to ask a local! 😂We had such a blast in the Outer Banks and we can't wait to go back!

[@djaj423]

those are either scuppernong or muscadine vines(types of grapes) probably. they need to be trimmed and cut back, also they do sometimes skip years and don't produce.

[@lisac.346]

So glad y'all enjoyed your visit to one of America's Jewel's that North Carolina is so proud to have. Just a side note, from a southern girl from North Carolina, the town's name Manteo is pronounced "Man-knee-oh" . 😄 Did you catch a glimpse of the wild horses? They are further north on the Outer Banks. If not maybe next time. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We absolutely loved our time in the Outer Banks! It is so amazing how many different pronunciations we have gotten for Manteo! Thanks so much for sharing that one! So glad you enjoyed the videos! Excited to share the wrap up video of our time there next week!

[@stevenparker5334]

We love the Outer Banks..especially Okracoke. What a gem to experience. You have the sweetest family and I look forward to seeing you're videos!

Hey! The name of the lighthouse is pronounced Bow-die. NC native. Love your videos.

[@marycoffey4093]

Manteo is pronounced Man-t-o Croatian is pronounced Crow-a-tan Thank you for highlighting our beautiful coastline. We appreciate your sharing your journey with us. Wilmington, NC

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So we were calling it Bow-die and looked it up and online it said it was pronounce like body??? WE should have asked the locals not the internet! Thanks so much for helping with our terrible pronunciations!

[@marycoffey4093]

@@FindingOurSomeday I’m sure we pronounce names incorrectly too. I’m originally from Boone, NC. The county there is Watauga. It is miss pronounced all the time. Appalachian Mountains is miss pronounced a lot too. Safe travels!! Anxious to see next week’s video!!

[@brianrinderknecht1386]

Body is actually correct, y’all have it right. I lived on Hatteras Island in Salvo for 15 years, and was born in Currituck. Locals of the OBX will definitely correct you if you call it Bow-dee.

[@Traveler_GAL]

100% agree on the storm scenario. They didn’t see storms like we have here not built to withstand those winds. Left on a ship and it went down. The ships name was the name left on the plaque.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Seems the most logical explanation!

[@amyheflin143]

So glad you visited Bodie Island. The Mother Vine in Manteo (Man-T-Oh) is a cool thing to visit too. The Lost Colony play is very good-do plan to come back to see it when you return to climb the Cape Hatteras light someday. As for the Lost Colony, there is some evidence that suggests the descendants of that colony actually wound up living on Harkers Island, farther south below Ocracoke and Portsmouth Islands. The older folks here on the island still speak the Queen's English. Look up the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. It documents the history of all the Down East communities of Carteret County and might be a useful source of info.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We will definitely check out the play when we go back! That’s really interesting, I hadn’t heard about them heading south! I’m going to check it out! Thank you 🙏

[@sharondruzbanski4205]

My daughter was a performer in the Lost Colony show. She loved her time in the Outer Banks. We loved the show and it’s well worth seeing!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That is awesome! We can't wait to see it SOMEDAY soon!

[@captainkirk8806]

Like you guys talking about Maine this is an area i know very well. First Bodie the "O" is pronounced long at least that's the way i have heard the locals say it. The lost Colony brewery is a great place to stop in for a beer. I have several shirts from there. The road right next to your campground is the one we use when we drive onto the beach then go south toward the inlet. Many theories around the lost colony but the Algonkian Indians left the area and migrated to Northern Virginia along the Potomac to avoid the storms. They tried to get the settlers to join them, but the settlers wouldn't leave and were wiped out by a large storm. Those that survived the storm eventually starved to death. There were no traces because that area gets N'or easters all the time and the sand shifts with the winds.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

The Outer Banks were amazing! We even looked up how to pronounce Bodie and the original way is body but the locals changed it years later as they didn't like the connotation as it was named after all the bodies that washed up from the Graveyard of the Atlantic. So many theories as to what happened to the colony! Thanks for watching!

Brings back a lot of memories. My dad worked for the park service in the summer of 85&86. The first year on ocracoke and the second in Buxton. I was 14-15 and had the run of the place. So many things have changed but many things are very similar.

I've been loving you outer banks videos. I spent a few summer's at my Uncles house in Maneto ( pronunced Man t o ) he took me to the "lost Coloney" in the early 70s, It was a exciting experience, out door drama starting around dusk something special about that time of day. My expierence was back in the day long before vidoe \ and live productions was not a common everyday experience (not all households had color tvs, let alone 2+ TVs). It was magical..... Your videos are expectional, I appricate the detail you provide and the time you spend producing them shows thru. Thanks for sharing!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Glad you are enjoying them! Thank you for watching! WE have gotten multiple pronunciations for Manteo. It is so interesting to see how it changes by region and state even! I can't imaging how amazing the show must have been in the 70's. So glad you got to experience it then. Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@pauldem544]

You actually were near the Mother Vine, the 400 year old (oldest) grape vine in North America. Some Trivia - the power company almost killed it a while back when they were spraying non-selective herbicide and the vine had spread quite far.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We heard about Mother Vine but weren't able to get there to see it. This vine was a pleasant surprise! So glad it didn't die!

[@dorstone7632]

Love it that you knew how to pronounce Bodie. Most people don’t. Years ago when I was young we may have seen the lost colony, but I really don’t recall. We usually went there off-season. Y’all really showed a lot of Roanoke island that I didn’t know about. Loving all of your videos from “The Banks”.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is funny how many locals have called us out on the pronunciation! We looked it up to make sure we knew how to say it but it was changed by locals many years ago because of the bad connotation with the first name! Even the names of places have fascinating histories!

We love following your adventures on the OBX, and all your other videos of your travels! I grew up on the OBX and lived on Hatteras for 15 years. We are in Phoenix, AZ area now, but are having an epic summer camping in Alaska. Thank you for all your content, history, humor and hard work on the channel. ❤️

Great video! I'm enjoying your trip up our NC coast and learning lots. Thanks! Saw your comment about being nervous filming yourself and that surprised me. None of you appear nervous to me. I think all of you do a great job.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you for being here with us! So glad you have been enjoying this season in the Outer Banks. It is a very strange thing to film yourself and Jess and I still both get nervous about it. Thank you for your kind words! That helps!

Great video. I agree with Cory that he came back to the wrong place (GPS was not big in the 1850s) or could be several storms that removed all trace

[@mychue09]

Hi, we're Chuck & Sue, we live in Manteo. It's pronounced Man-neo. Just FYI. We thought you made great points about coming here to learn the history. We've discussed many times how we never learned about the Outer Banks and its history in school. It blows the mind. There is Such incredible history here. Thanks for another awesome video... Being at our home is just a bonus!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thanks so much for letting us know! We have actually have people tell us a couple different ways, but that way seems to be the majority! 😉 It is crazy how much history isn't taught anymore. That is why this adventure is so important to us so that the girls are able to see all of these places and learn their history in person!

[@JeepTJWheelin]

I was told by other locals it's pronounced Man t neo. Where the t is almost silent, barely noticeable. 🤔

[@FindingOurSomeday]

@@JeepTJWheelin So interesting all of the different pronunciations!

@@FindingOurSomeday After a while it's just silly. Like Peabody, MA is pee-ba-dee and Newark, DE is new - ark, not new - work. 🙄

[@craignickum6551]

Had a chuckle. You said there was a "reenactment" at the Lost Colony. I guess that would last about 5 minutes. Okay everybody here are the settlers. Lights go out, turn back on and no one is there. LOL

[@NavigatingChaos]

There's a similar story about tge settlers in Pensacola. There's a bunch of haunted houses to tour as well.

[@lindag4456]

Loved this video . I love all I've seen so far, I miss OBX. It's pronounced , "Bow-die" Island not Bodie...Lol. I am in Roanoke Va. That's the way everyone around here pronounces the Lighthouse and island. Come visit ud here we're in foothills of Blue Ridge Mtns. Lots of trails, hike McAfees Knob. P.S. I climbed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in 2000, a year after they moved it. It was 90 degrees plus and we could not take water bottles up.

This episode is great. We’ve got to drive to the east coast and check this out. I think the explanation you gave about them thinking they were abandoned, got on a ship and the ship sunk Is the most plausible.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

You really do! We were completely blown away by what the Outer Banks has to offer and there is still so much more that we want to go back to see! And considering the craziness of the weather there, it does seem like the most plausible explanation. Such a sad story.

[@larryclark5355]

You can take a sighting on the light houses,in daylight, and know your position on the water. The stripes/bands/ and colors told you the different lighthouse

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So amazing how they all had different looks and different light patterns so the ships could know where they were!

[@cherylvaughn1847]

My theory is a hurricane swept them and their fort off the island. I love visiting The Outer Banks but would never live there because of the weather. Bodie Lighthouse is pronounced Beau-dee, not body. I think the grape vine was wisteria. Andy Griffith's home was in Manteo and he rests there. Great video!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thanks so much for watching and your mystery theory! We actually looked up how to pronounce it because we were worried we were doing it wrong. The original pronunciation was "body" (which is what we saw when we looked it up) named after all the bodies that washed up on the shore there from the Graveyard of the Atlantic. At some point the locals didn't like that connotation so they started calling it Bow-die. We should always just ask the locals! 😂 Thanks so much for watching!

[@amyheflin143]

The grape vine is known as The Mother Vine. It is Scuppernong, a sweet grape that makes really sweet wine. It is something like 200 + years old.

[@mooreadventures]

Ma-ta-e-o.... 🤣😂 In NC they actually drop the "t" and it is pronounced Man-e-o And Outer Banks was filmed in Charleston. I know, it's very misleading. Hopefully you make it up to Currituck. That lighthouse is red brick. And maybe you'll get to see the wild horses of Corolla.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That is a riot! That is the 3 different pronunciation we have gotten for Manteo! Same with Bodie Lighthouse! People in NC call them one thing, people in Virginia call them something else and then when you look online it says something else! Love hearing all the differences! Now we have to go to Charleston! 😂 We didn't make it all the way up there but it is definitely on the list for the next time we are there!

The Algonquins, being friendly, came for a visit. They saw they had no supplies, and them being city dwellers, no knowledge of how to live off the land. So, they invited them to live in their villages with them. So they did and they survived.

I didn't know that about the lighthouse paint scheme having meaning to the sailors. Makes sense! Roanoke Island is on my bucket list. I love watching documentaries that try to figure out what happened. Lots of clues starting to show up and it seems like some of the new DNA evidence they're uncovering shows that they did survive at least for a while because some of the people in the area are connected to them through DNA. Such an interesting mystery!!!

[@badgerpa9]

Late 1400's the Portuguese and Spanish set up places in Florida by the early 1500 they had wars between settlements of French, Spain and Portuguese. St Augustine was a colony and officially founded in 1565 but existed before that. The parks sadly often have incorrect and made up information. Columbus knew to miss the Sargasso sea from others that had traveled it before. Much of Columbus's notes have been translated from Portuguese (not Italian he did not speak Italian) but instead there are stories taught that do not include his notes. If you ever travel to Portugal you can travel to the towns the Islands "they discovered" are named after. Be safe.

It’s kinda funny what “history” favor’s sometimes. Appreciate the insight!

St.Augustine FL is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European and African-American origin in the United States. (Year 1565) Forty-two years before the English colonized Jamestown and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the Spanish established at St. Augustine this nation's first enduring settlement. ( says Google lol)

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That is right! We love visiting the Castillo de San Marcos in St Augustine. I guess they are counting Jamestowns as the first permanent English settlement. The history in St Augustine is amazing!

Enjoyed the episode. I kept trying to figure out where you said you were. Everything looked familiar but I didn't recognize the name you called it. Then I realized you were in Manteo "Man-Tee-Oh". I bet you get these comments everywhere you go LOL. I know I would always get them wrong. Did you ever hear the debate whether Bodie lighthouse is "Body" or "Beau Dee"? lol - I'm pretty sure you got that one right.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Oh you can look down at the other comments! 😂 There are a few options for Manteo and we actually looked up how to say Bodie because we weren't sure. We are technically right to call it "body" but the locals changed it many years later because they didn't like the connotation of where it actually came from! Next time we are only asking the locals!

[@asudchiman]

@@FindingOurSomeday Y’all did great! You should have asked the natives of Ocracoke. They have their own dialect. “Hoi Toider” aka Ocracoke Brogue. Listen on KZbin and see if you can understand them.

[@elainer2876]

Saw a special on the history channel in regards to Roanoke colony...if I remember correctly, the jist is that they moved their colony and then were captured by unfriendly indian tribe that took them as slaves to mine copper for them...markers were found that settlers left as clues along trail...but eventually trail markers stopped...so death by disease or such took them as they were captive.

[@lynfl9814]

So, many memories from the OBX after many years of vacationing there. Your videos keep bringing them back; those were wonderful vacations. I learned something new; all those years we were pronouncing Bodie Island Light House wrong. We pronounced it it 'BOH-dee" like a boys name is pronounced. I thought you guys were pronouncing it wrong; I looked it up. Indeed, you are pronouncing it the way it is pronounced in that area; "Body" is the correct pronunciation. What a breathtaking sunset that was; did you use any filters for those brilliant colors? Really gorgeous! We did so many sunsets on the Sound side on a beach we found. We would grab a bottle of wine and watch the sunset sitting on the tailgate of our truck (there was beach parking there).

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So glad we were able to take you back to those wonderful times. We are grateful for these videos that we will have to go back and watch with the girls SOMEDAY and hopefully our grand children as well! We laughed about this because we looked it up to make sure we were pronouncing it right and the original pronunciation was what we found but the locals don't call it that anymore so we still got it wrong! 😂 We need to always ask locals from now on!
