Hanging Rock, NC Sep 2015

Kids; there is just something special about driving the back roads of North Carolina into the foothills of the Piedmont. These are the parts of the backwoods people talk about in stories of the past. Middle of nowhere. Ahh…. but the beauty of the woods, foothills and new vista around the next curve in the road. I had heard much about Hanging Rock since arriving here a couple of years ago now. I finally took the time, with Mary’s coaxing, to take a hike up the foothill to the top. The hike was exhilarating and so worth the strain. The view is breathtaking.The crevice behind me is how people had to climb up to get to this point in the past. No thanks.Mary enjoying the view.
