Dashboards # Saddlebags The Destination Magazine 20 and I am very proud to say that in less than two years this destination magazine has caught the eye of the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development Project. We are working with this agency to bring you a new monthly feature, Project 543. Project 543 tells the story of unique spots across North Carolina we hope will become some of your favorite destinations. Why 543? Because that’s the number of miles from Manteo, on the coast, to Murphy, in the mountains, and is traditionally considered to be the width of our state.
