The Rural East (Near Lyman, N.C.) (NCBBQII)

It's been so many thousands of miles and so many thousands of shots since I took this one...that I can't even remember if it's the shot I wanted. It's close. It'll do.

This is from May or June of 2008. Rob L. and I are coasting through half of N.C. on our second and better-planned bbq expedition. We've just seen the Chinquapin Gas Station for the first time (please click for story) and are about to discover the beach at Topsail Island.

Dan and I are going to Topsail next week. We're meeting Sandy and Michael there. We cleared out the week and rented a recession special beach house for half off. We're going to work on things that aren't our jobs, such as photos, music, and ourselves.

Of course, there will be barbecue as well. Do we call this trip LBRDY or BAR-B-BRDY?

I don't know. We sure do take a lot of trips.
