I have family in Henderson that did that. The two single wides were in parallel with a makeshift hallway to connect the two so it looked like an H. I'm just glad no helicopters landed on it although many lolicopters have.

How did so much human debris end up in such a beautiful place?

I went there the weekend before last and it was awesome!

You can just ride ATVs up and down the road there and when you see a cop you just wave or nod rather than running. They're just glad you're there spending your loot and they don't even think about tazing you unless you're all strung out on meth and causing a riot.

There is a shit ton of land that nobody seems to give a fuck about. You can ride ATVs, shoot animals, dump old appliances, carve your initials in trees or whatever else you're into out there.

They sell liquor in gas stations.

The waitresses are bitchy and slow, but they don't expect good tips for their shitty work like they do in Raleigh.
