Traveling is good.  It opens the mind to the world around us.  In the F3 world, the 30 minute drive from Holly Springs to Durham was the equivalent of a North Carolinian visiting Virginia.  Or, in the spirit of the current holiday, an American visiting Mexico.  It is only right to bring gifts when you visit new friends in a new place; in this case, the gifts were in the form of concrete blocks.  After a little extra credit run with Bones to scope the lay of the land, YHC was cordially greeted by the Tobacco Road regulars with much kindness.  Here is what followed:
