"being there at the right time is half the battle"
-I unfortunately do not live close to the outer banks (4hr, 30 min drive for me), though the closest drive to the beach for me is about an hour and thirty minutes to Wrightsville, a drive that i am rather used to. That said, on my OBX trips, i just have to make do with whatever time I have available. With limited weekends in each season to go, being off by one weekend on a drum blitz is the biggest punch in the gut ever lol. I unfortunately got to experience this feeling twice this past spring season. So that quote is quite the story of my life lol.
