    So I know I have posted this before and got nothing, maybe it will be different this time. (maybe)
    So I will heading for North Carolina this Thursday and will be going to school untill the end of July. I would like to know if there are any HAMB members that live in the Camp Lejuene area or if there are any happenings during my stay? If not then I guess I will just have to rent a Harley and go riding on my weekends off. (sigh)

    I know one thing I don't like tourist and I have never been to disney land so it looks like I might have to set up camp in your neck of the woods. I will have to head inland first to pick up a "Friend" and let you know when I'm coming out.

    cool man

    also the outer banks, cape hatteras is a ferry boat north from you

    i love it there b/c you can drive on the beach, have huge fires onn the beach, its like beaches used to be before all the money and regulations....dont get me wrong its not a free for all but its a rare oppurtunity on the east coast

    have a safe trip man and happy landings

    Yeah the outer banks are real cool. Myrtle beach sort of sucks as stated so stay away unless you really need to go. If you can one weekend make your way to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville or where ever and take that all in.

    See if anyone is going to drive up to the Hot Rod Cinematic. That would be cool a cool way to spend a weekend.

    And if you make your way to the Charlotte area, PM me I will try to direct you to a decent time.
     
  8. 'Bout an hour away in Greenville. New Bern seems to have a little rod action going, and Raleigh is cool if you catch the right weekend.

    I'll be at Emerald Isle Beach the Fourth weekend. PM me before then and we can have a mini-HAMB meet-n-greet!

    Where's this at? I just might have to stop in for dinner tonight.
    I went out and had some mexican and it just didn't sit right. I should'a known something was wrong when there wasn't mexican to be found:confused:
    But they did have Tecate so I guess that made it ok

    They are a chain that specializes in barbecue and fried chicken. A chain, but a pretty decent one. I'm pretty sure there is one in J'ville.
