Go twice
Ok I'm glad to hear you are going up there Grayson... my two daughters have really enjoyed it up there over the years and I can't think of a place more exciting when you are a kid.
Another suggestion I will throw out for later is there are numerous places with nice swim holes where you can backpack a bit & then do some swimming. Wilson Creek area or Doughton Park off the top of my head. That of course assumes you are willing to do some lollygagging.
A ranger at Grayson told me she was present when that happened.Reminds me of the story of somebody buying a pony at Grayson & putting it in their backseat on the ride home.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
Yeah and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for the tip about eating dates. I think they helped a lot
I guess this is OK seeing it is about the Uwharries:
Last Sunday night I was camped down at Dutchman's Creek at the foot of Lick Mountain. About half hour before dark along comes a guy in shorts, a bright yellow short sleeve shirt and a bright orange narrow brim hat. No pack. No water. ? He was holding his cell phone out in front of him like using it as a compass or something. I startled him when I asked him where he was headed. He said he left his car on "the dirt road" and was on his way back. I told him the trail continued across the creek and off he went up Lick Mountain. I had a jacket and a warm hat on already. Don't know what became of him but I'll be he has a tale to tell!
