vacationing in Kill Devil Hills, NC...

[joe]

pulled in to town to see this:

obviously i'd found the Dungeon!

took a few pics of things hanging in the store:

and a few shots of the old Digger trucks:

not sure which number it was, but this one was running...

there was another Digger running on the test area, as well as Grinder and Nitro Circus.
im not sure what was going on; there was nothing "scheduled" for today.
but here's a little vid:

I know, right?!? It was pretty sweet.
Sometimes I just end up in the right place at the right time.

Yup that crazy guy you see on TV is the same person you will see when the cameras are off. I got the chance to meet him when he was running at Lebannon Valley back in '97. Got him to autograph the Digger Retro I have and another clear body that's still in its bag. One of these days I will make it to the Dungeon. Thanks for sharing Joe:tmb:tmb

Thanks for sharing Joe. :tmb Been wondering why you've been "absent" :wnk That picture is worth 10 signatures :worthy

 

[joe]

Thanks guys! I figured some of ya would think it's as cool as I did!

and Bill, yeah I've been down here since Easter.
I keep checking in, but not really posting.

Wow talk about jealous. I have always wanted to go to that part of the country. Really want to get to the Dugeon one day too. Nice shot with Dennis...Awesome!

 

[JBandit03]

Lucky Dog!!! The dungeon is less than an hour away from me, and anytime I head down that way I have to stop in. I never got to see him there though. Even went out of my way one day after work following one of the transporters down there just incase lol.

Digger sitting on its nose is definitely a sight to see, esp when driving by. I did a triple take on my way down to KDH when they first put it up. I thought it was the real deal loosing control haha.

 

[joe]

I definitely got lucky.
We'll probably stop one more time on our way home, too.
:tmb

 

[Ball Racing]

Well you guys need to go to the no limit world finals down there,
you can hang with Dennis for days..
He's not to hard to find on that weekend....

 

[joe]

I would love to go!
but... I'll be working then.
