OH Dave, you don't know how long I have been waiting to see Rescue's old Young/Duplex. Thank you. We need to start posting these under the Young thread as well. There are alot of Youngs getting lost in the mix of other posts.

On August 8th, I drove up to North Carolina to meet with Andrew, Micah and Benjy for two days of shooting rigs in Rowan County. Andrew's buddy Aaron joined us for both days, but Benjy was only available on Friday.



On the way up, I stopped at Boiling Springs in Spartanburg County, SC. I passed a Citgo station with a price of $3.38/gallon but had just filled up a couple exits back. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I did return with an almost empty tank on the trip home on Saturday night!

Then we hit Locke Township. They operate Stations 61, 62 and 63. I had been there previously, so this rig is the only one I shot. The rest of the guys got several others.
