It’s been a few years since my last post. We now live far from the outdoor destinations we loved to explore, and traveling two to four hours one way to reach a place is no longer feasible.
Much has changed since I started this blog. Covid drove people outdoors, and thousands discovered the beauty that their busy lives had prevented them from enjoying before. Like so many other states, the Carolinas experienced a huge influx of people from the North. Helene tore through the mountains, forever reshaping the geography in places. Massive wildfires broke out, fueled by debris from Helene’s wrath. All of these events have greatly impacted the Carolinas. Looking back over my posts today as I deleted a few broken links, my posts present a far simpler, more charming picture of destinations in these states, and yet, some of those destinations have been so severely impacted, it appears they’ll never be the same.
So if you happen on a post in my blog, know that the destination still exists, but it has likely changed. I encourage you to check it out anyway. It may be different, but it’s still a pretty place.
