Bayous of the southeast
There are many bayous in the Southeast.The most popular ones are the ones in Kitty Hawk North Carolina.December wet season here.There are a lot of marshes near the bayous.Most of the Bayous are over the 100 feet tall. Outer banks are by water and they naturally make soft sand.The first-ever airplane flights were at Kitty Hawk.There are so many thunderstorms in the wet season, that by June the bayous are underwater. And the last fact about the south bayous is that they are the tallest natural sand dune in system in the eastern US.
