A signature weekend trip to the coast of North Carolina ….

[slideshow]For a mountain man, a trip to the coast of North Carolina in November is like going to Baskin Robbins.  I don’t go to either that often, but there is always the memory of what the last trip was like.

On this recent trip to Emerald Isle, Beaufort, and Harkers Island, there was a walk on the beach (no surprise), and a notable (surprise) invitation to the by invitation only True Secret Order of the False Albacorian Monks Banquet (BBQ) and Conclave (beer drinking).

A big “thank you” to our host, Brandt Deal.
