OBX Spring Break

[LaTuFu]

A college buddy of mine has a place in OBX, we rent it a couple of times a year. My favorite time of year has been spring break for a long time. No crowds, usually perfect weather for relaxation and grilling. This week has been 65-70 and no clouds.

If you're a fan of military aviation it's a dream place too. NAS, NSWG, MCAS, and USCG all have bases within a short flight, so you get to see a wide variety of aircraft flying up/down the Strand.

This year I decided to buy my buddy a gift to say thank you for the house. Got him a Kettle to go along with the gasser that he provides. They had an 18 that has seen better days, so I replaced it with a 22 Premium. Hopefully most renters will ignore it or use it the right way.

I broke it in this week







I'll use it a couple more times before we head back.

Great gift and nice cook! I've never been to OBX but I've heard great things

Wow that is a nice gesture!

We stayed for a few days at a rental over Xmas that provided an 18 and between all the running around/touristy stuff and knowing one 18 wouldn't do much for 9 people it didn't get used.

I squeezed a GA and a 14 WSM into the family truckster for the trip last summer, and would have really appreciated a 22 for use at the house we rented.  This is a very kind gift indeed.

Going to OBX for 4th of July week with 4 families. We have rented a 10,000 sq. ft. pimp shack. Can't wait. The unit has a Weber gasser, but one of the 4 SUV's will carry down a kettle.
