The zoom in camping interest
is reflected in the National
Parks, which since 1856 have
seen an increase of 40 per cent
in the number of camping sites.
There are now 1925 camp
sites and spaces scattered
through the Nations National
Parks, the Department of In

from the 12-mile-square Tim
panogoS Cave National Monu-
ment in Utah, with two camp
grounds and 26 campsites, to
the 3,400-square-mile Yellow
stone National Park with Is
campgrounds and 1884 camp
sites.
Despite the increase in num-
ber. the National Park Service
predicts the campgrounds will
be operating at capacity this
summer.

few miles from the State-long
Garden State parkway. Trav-
cling south along this road to

to Cape May.
Formerly known as Cape Is

is a thriving resort today, is
like turning the pages back a
century or more.
Entering the town by the
new bridge over Cold Spring

seafood restaurants and cam
neries come into view.
Proceeding, one is aware of
the winding streets and the

Late August
Rush Begins
AT Naqs Head
By AYCOCK BROWN
Contributing Writer

MACS HEAD, N. c.. Aug.
20.-Late August is when vaca-
tion travel to the Nags Head
and Outer Banks region of
North Carolina reaches a sum-
mer peak. And during August
this year new travel records
are being made in the area
where EngliSh-Speaking Amer
ica had its beginning during
the late 10th century.
That beginning. which was
commemorated here during the
past week with the 373d ami
versary celebration of the birth
of Virginia Dare, on August 10,
continues to be one of the i'm
portant historic events that
attract more and more people.
There are many residents of
the Nags Head and surrounding
area today who have become
permanent residents through
retirement or through the es-
tablishment of businesses here,
because they came for a vaca-
ton visit.
This region has become a
mecca for writer's especially
magazine writers and proof of
it may be seen in national
magazines.
Currently a story in Septem-
ber issue of Readers Digest tells
about the Cape Hatteras Ma
tional Seashore Recreational
Area; for publication soon in
Saturday Evening Post will be
a similar story about this first
oceanside recreational area of
the National Park Service.
Anthony Stewart. chief pho
tographer Of National Geo.

Shutterbug's Mecca
Seen in Ocean City

colored boats with their out
riggers still sweeping the sky
depict an excitement that will
be felt when the photographs
are viewed years later.
Luxury Cruisers
For real glamour visit the
Ship Cafe docks and take ad-
vantage of the luxury cruisers
that tie up there every summer.
Many of these floating palaces
are so large they maintain their
own crews. Their color and
sparkling brightness will make
you wish you had brought an
extra roll of color film.
Perhaps the most scenic spot
for taking pictures is the area
around the commercial fishing
docks in West Ocean City. No
glamour or sparkling paint fin
ishes over there, just the lines
of rugged work boats resting
wearily at dock after days Of
fishing at sea.
The tired. weary appearance
Of these boats with their giant
nets spread from the mast is
perhaps the most picturesque
scene in Ocean City.
Watery Contrast
The tiny drydock Of West
Ocean City is also another ia
vorite Of camera fans. Here the
sleek pleasure boats are pulled
ashore and Graded alongside
their poorer relatives, the COM
mercial work boats. The sight
of bright, shiny yachts sitting
side by side with unpainted
commercial boats in sphinxlike
stiffness offers a contrast that
will make any photo a prize
winner.
The business of catering to
camera fans in Ocean City
ranks as one of the towns big
gest and busiest industries. Nu-
merous photo developing COM
panies compete vigorously for
the camera enthusiasts busi-
ness, and 24-hour developing

cost the city between 100000
and $4,000 annually. Condi-
tions grew worse in the 1940s.
In Mississippi, the Army
Corps of Engineers set up a
small replica of the Virginia
Beach waterfront.
Saving the Sand
AS a result of the study, the
Army recommended that the
resort use a sand replenishment
program rather than the more
familiar method Of building
sand-trapping jetties at right
angles to the beach. The sand
.replenishment program was
one of the first tried in the
United States.
Sand from huge deposits
owned by the Virginia Beach
Erosion Board is pumped onto
the beach. Some of the sand
in unfavorable weather is
washed offshore and deposited
on bars. Shifting tides. how
ever, bring most of it back.
The replenishment operation
costs $65,000 to $4,000 yearly.
The pumps send between $4,000
Ito 10000 cubic yards of sand
onto the beach each season.
Wider and Cleaner
| The operation started in
1852. Within a year, according
to a city official, the beach was
restored and has been main
tained ever since with some
variation. In many places, the
beach is wider and cleaner
than it has ever been before.
IF nothing had been done in
the early 1885," a city official
said recently, I'VE would be
bankrupt. When this project
started you couldn't borrow
building money for ocean front
hotels and motels. Values have
increased two and three fold.
In short, the future of Vir-
ginia Beach has never been
more sparkling, thanks to its
sand replenishment program.
