Wright Brothers National Memorial

MONDAY, May 19, 2008

This memorial was built on the top of the FAMOUS hill in Kill Devil Hills (not Kitty Hawk) in the Outer Banks where the Wright Brothers flew their plane into history in 1903. Just getting their plane to the top of this hill was a real feat - poki and Mike had a little trouble with the percent of incline, and we were walking on a PAVED sidewalk. Can't imagine what it was like on a native covered sand dune as it must have been in 1903. Quite a feat in many respects.
