I'm enjoying the heck out of this, but not getting much work done. Each night, after you post, I get out the photos and roster and begin checking. I make sure I have all the photos, or see which new ones I need. I correct/update my roster, and think about travling that road to the OBX. I think our fall trip is not going to happen, so I'm using your posts as my fall visit. Can't wait for more!!!!!!

P.S. How much did you pay to get that final station opened?[/quote]





Jerry,



Glad you are enjoying the OBX tour. I know you love this area.



If you are referring to the last Lower Currituck station close to the Wright Brothers bridge.....the folks at Lower Currituck were extremely nice and accomodating. The Chief was out of town at a FD conference and ensured that someone was at the main station in Grandy to meet me. We were then taken to the small substation for photos. My only disappointment there was that the twin Spartan/Ferrara was not at the sub station. I was told one of the firefighters took it home to respond in it if needed. That was kind of interesting.



I am enjoying more and more following Currituck and Dare Counties.
