The odd little town of Old Fort, NC is supposedly filled with people who enjoy yelling obscenities at tourists and people taking pictures. In the hour or so Apollo and Thunderlips spent in Old Fort, they had to listen to at least 25 different people yelling cuss words as they drove by. While Apollo is sure this behavior doesn’t speak for everyone in Old Fort, the handful of dickheads living here is enough to keep him from ever coming back. Best Apollo can figure, if you’re not wearing a Nascar tshirt here in Old Fort, you’re gonna catch a lot of shit. They must be really proud of themselves in this place.
The Master of Disaster and The Ultimate Male had high hopes for Old Fort on this beautiful spring day. Things quickly went to piss. Folks in Old Fort do not warm kindly to people taking pictures.
This must be the hugest arrowhead on the face of the earth. Apollo wants to see the bow that fired this giant ass arrowhead.
Thunderlips cools off in what seems to be a water fountain.
The Old Fort Visitors Center and Museum turned out to be the only safe-haven from the raucous Old Fort Yellbillies.
The James W. Wilson memorial rock.
Thankfully, people quit bitching when Apollo and Thunderlips went in the caboose. Of course the second they emerged, the expletives quickly resumed.
Apollo had to take a huge shit. After being yelled at for the past 45 minutes he felt it fitting to crap in the caboose. Poor dude couldn't prevent the shutter clicking.
Apollo had NO IDEA that cabooses were so well equipped. Cabooses are pretty freaking rad.
According to the Wiki, the caboose provided the train crew with a shelter at the rear of the train. They could exit the train for switching or to protect the rear of the train when stopped. They also inspected the train for problems such as shifting loads, broken or dragging equipment, and hot boxes.
The view from this caboose window was divine. Not.
Cabooses are also called brake vans or guard vans. Silly British...
Apollo found no stationery in the caboose's stationery cabinet.
Apollo checks out the massive cast-iron underworkings of the caboose. Those were the biggest leaf springs he's ever seen.
Thunderlips thought it'd be cool to act like he was actually riding on the rails. Apollo wanted no part with this as he felt it was incredibly lame.
Nice, thanks for sharing this information. Looks great on my iPhone, but on the Blackberry Pearl’s browser your site comes out a little funky.
