Yes, I know I still have stories to tell about Key West and I have just been so busy I haven’t gotten back to the computer this week. In the meantime, I am posting a picture of my beach buggy tag – (Life member 6872) on my Jeep while I was chilling on the beach in Hatteras, North Carolina. There is just nothing like driving on the beach on the OBX. http://www.ncbba.org/ I have to get Jimmy one of these beach buggy tags for his new beach buggy. Seems he just dropped by the outer banks in the past few days to surf and paddle a bit in his brand new “Green Tomato.” This is a cool name for his oil powered van that is rigged to the hilt with surfing goodies…
I guess I should have steered him by Greensboro to fill up with bio-diesel or veggie oil at my brother’s new start-up in Greensboro. http://patriotbiodiesel.com/
Here is a link to the story about Jimmy in Cape Hatteras, NC via Highway 12 last week. It is a very cool story with pictures and a video. Go check it out.

Be sure to read the part about Andy Zimmerman from Greensboro, North Carolina. He owns Heritage Kayak and Pro Canoe, now called Get:Outdoors in Greensboro. Not only did I buy my last carbon fiber kayak paddle from Andy, I have a new Heritage solo canoe on order from his company too. Andy is one nice guy and he has employed many people from this area for years building some awesome kayaks and canoes. It is very cool to see this prototype boat he took to Jimmy on this trip! I too own a prototype from the old days…that is one long story but the kevlar tandem boat still hangs in my boat house.
