Road Trip... Again!

-Dutch-

Drag Race Newbie
We're off for another one tomorrow. Two weeks on the road down and back on the east coast. We'll be starting with a visit to a buddy of mine in PA I met on SVRiders.com and have known for quite a few years, and finally got to meet on the tail end of last year's trip. From there we are hoping to join in on the Saturday VA meet listed on here.

After that, it's sort of up in the air. MrsDutch has a list of places to hit including the Outer Banks again but we'll be working around the weather on that part. Tail of the dragon is absolutely happening, just not sure when. No car mods planned on this one but I have a tidbit to install when we get back.

She's purchased a new camera since the last trip and I'd expect will be posting some nice shots along the way. We plan on visiting some old friends, and hope we can meet some new ones during our travels. I'll try to make sure we do a good job of posting updates to make meetings possible. She (still) can't drive stick so it'll be up to her to update while we're on the move.

If you're on the east coast south of RI and interested in meeting up for any amount of time in the next two weeks, feel free to hit us up at (five oh ate) eight won six, oh one six 8. If you sign my cell up for 8-bit donkey porn using the above I will hunt you down and do bad things. Use your imagination. (16-bit is fine)

How far inland are you going? I'm going up to NY for a wedding next weekend, stopping by pittsburgh on the way up, and coming back down by way of the dragon.

We were planning on visiting the Outer Banks on the way down but it looks like they got hit pretty hard. Not really sure what the plan is now.
Safe travels!
Many pics.
Thanks!

Had a good night in PA yesterday, went Karting and got my ass handed to me on a platter.

Unrelated, but Delaware and Virginia can go ahead and fuck right off. Driving at speeds that would get me rammed out of the way in New England and I've been pulled over twice this morning.

as far as the dragon goes, hit it during the week if you can. weekends are much busier

And don't you DARE use a radar detector in VA, they don't appreciate the whole fair play ideology. I have mine hardwired and mounted up high, thought I could run it in dark mode and not get spotted. Nope, they have radar detector... detectors, which are thankfully not completely accurate. Pulled over the guy in front of me when we were pulling into a rest stop in the middle of the night. Guy said the cop was adamant that he had a positive signal on a radar detector once he pulled in to pee. Made sure to wait until he was out of sight to pull it down, and passed the cop on my way out.

MrsDutch has been taking wildlife pictures non-stop for the last two days. Has yet to post any, but I'm after her about it.

Stopped at a place on the OBX strip last night, called Olive something. A bit weird, but they had a ton of fancy olive oil as well as wine, cheese, and craft beers. I was there for the beer and picked up a couple of stouts. The gentleman who checked us out told me that if I liked those, try their second location, Chips. Specifically recommended the Goose Island Beer Bourbon County Stout.

I'm currently sitting in their tasting room and this is quite possibly the best beer I've ever had. It's a sippin' beverage to be sure.

Love OBX for craft beers. Gotta try Tap Shack, Off the Wall, Weeping Radish, and a particular fav, Northern Outer Banks Brewing Co. Take a left after the bridge and head toward Duck/Corolla on 12. Y'all won't be disappointed.

If you go further south (take a right instead) Buffalo City Jug Shop and Outer Banks Brewing Station are in Kill Devil Hills/ Kitty Hawk area.

Guys.

I did not realize Dutch already started a thread for this. He said it was my job. [emoji849] Our communication game is strong...Oy.

Anyway, here’s the first picture I posted in my thread, which I’m now going to merge with this one. Everyone can read this one for updates on our adventures. Kthxbye.

Lots of areas still have a lot of standing water so our trip this time was hindered a lot by the elements. We had plans to go to Corolla but they got canceled because the tour company I had booked a tour with said there was still too much water on the roads there. [emoji20]

If y'all are going to see AtlantaDad and end up on 85 N, give me a shout when you're near Greenville SC. We'll get some good beer or shitty bourbon, your choice :D.
