Yum!

“12 Cheeses of Christmas” continues with Bayley Hazen Blue. Here ya go, Virginia. Blue cheese and stout beer. Scared? Don’t be. Both hailing from central Virginia, these two play very well together. The big and boisterous dark flavors of Bayley Hazen Blue are a lovely compliment to the Gingerbread Stout. Sounds crazy but, trust us, it’s not.

While everyone fights about where Kill Devil Hills was, and the Wrights get ready for their next flight, lets talk a little about the hill. Big Kill Devil Hill, and the surrounding area, from which Kill Devil Hills gets its name, was originally one of many migrating dunes that was part of the island. It actually stood slightly northeast of its current location. If you climb to the monument and look to the ocean toward the north, you will see a large copse of trees where the drive wraps around the quick growing pines. The low area quickly filled, first with water, then seeds found harvest, and later the pines grew.
The hill was stabilized before building the monument. The US Army Corps of Engineers planted huge amounts of grass seed to stop the movement of the hill, freezing it where it stood. You can see, in this photo, the "back side" of the dune, in that the shape is a bowl. This often happens on the southeast side of dunes on the Outer Banks, creating a shallow and sand free pit that is often filled with wet and hard packed sand and mud. Jockey's Ridge once stood in the same way back in the 1970s with its tall back dune, Wedding Hill.
The protected bowl was a good place to build the small generator room that originally powered the lighted beacon on the monument. The building is still there, but don't go walking to it. The grassy area is full of cactus and sandspurs.

Review Day!!

Amazing home, fantastic vacation!

This rental was stunning! The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and came with everything we needed/could want to enjoy our OBX vacation. The property was very well taken care of, amenities were top notch, and the hosts were outstanding to work with. The pool/yard was fabulous for kids of all ages. There was plenty of space inside and out for everyone to relax after long, sunny days at the beach. One week wasn’t enough time for our family of six to enjoy everything Life Off The Leash had to offer. 10/10 would recommend!

Review sharing time!

“Our stay at Life Off The Leash was absolutely wonderful! The house is absolutely gorgeous and looks just like the pictures. It was very clean! Carter was absolutely wonderful with communication and answered all questions we had while we were there. The pool and views were great. Quiet community! I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in OBX. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks again Benes family for sharing your home with us! We look forward to our trip next year!”

One of our favorite places to eat and drink when we're at the beach, and a short walk from the house!

Shakerag Blue's colorful name is derived from the beautiful Shakerag Hollow atop the Cumberland Plateau. Legend has it a thirsty individual could leave a white rag and money in a tree stump and find a jar of moonshine in its place upon returning. An ode to all things Southern, Shakerag is a crumbly yet dense blue-veined cheese cloaked in local fig leaves which have been soaked in Chattanooga Whiskey, the first legal whiskey being distilled in the city since Prohibition. Its salty-sweet and fruity interior is reminiscent of root beer, and lends itself to more complex notes of savory bacon, dark chocolate, and tropical flavors towards the rind.
