One of the perks of speaking is that you get a chance along the way to stop and smell the roses. This week is was to look at a lighthouse. Even though I have lived in North Carolina for 30+ years I had never been to the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. This week, while speaking to the North Carolina Association of County Agricultural Agents in Nags Head, North Carolina I was able to make a trip to the lighthouse. What was amazing about the lighthouse is it was moved 1/2 mile inland in 1999 because the shoreline had eroded and it was in danger of falling into the Atlantic Ocean. That was some feat of engineering.
I enjoyed my time with the agents and kicked off the conference with a presentation on the Four R’s of Extension – Resilience, Relevance, Relationships, and Renewal.
