“…Take the third right after the speed limit sign, and be careful of the logging trucks driving fast around the bends”

That was about all I had to go off of, as I lost phone reception on a winding Carolina back road, in the rolling hills and the tall pines. When I pulled up, the giant gate leading up a dirt road into the woods was closed, but Unlocked, and after a slow drive up a big hill, I was at Whipsnake.

Off the map, off the grid, and totally on point, a private DIY paradise sat hidden in the middle of nowhere. Cooking in the summer sun, a clearing in the forest , is a giant cement sculpture, that I was lucky enough to ride, and unroll my sleeping bag for the night.

As the sun set, and the moon started to wander higher and higher, it cooled down to a comfortable temperature, and the heat of the day radiated off the giant cement whipsnake, to the chorus of crickets, coyotes, mosquitos and small talk.

Check out these photos I shot of Zach Rogers, Trey Jones, Seamus Mckeon and one of yours truly…
