I would drive all the way from Fredericksburg to see that..several years ago at the scottish rite in houston 33 masons from scotland came over and put on a masters degree. it was awesome. when the degree was over they put them through the shrine in a very nice ceromony that i have only seen one time. that was a night to remember.

I read of a MM degree below deck of the USS Constitution.
The largest system of caves in the world, is Mammoth Cave Kentucky (a national park) . A nearby lodge used to do a MM degree, deep in the cave. The lodge would set up an entire working lodge about a mile underground, and do the entire MM degree.
I read about a lodge in Wyoming, that loads an entire lodge on 20 pack mules, and the degree team and candidate ride the mules up to a mountaintop in the Grand Tetons. They do the MM degree at sundown, and camp on the mountaintop. Then they ride the mules back down, the next day. 25 Master Masons go up the mountain, and 26 Master Masons come down. Fantastic!
