After leaving the coast and moving inland, we spent our last week in NC at Falls Lake Recreation Area. Falls Lake is a large reservoir located between Raleigh and Durham. Holly Point campground is one of those rare campgrounds where there’s really not a bad campsite in the entire park. Every site in our loop is large, private and treed.
The park also offers access to a section of NC’s long trail, Mountains-to-Sea; a 1,200 mile trail that traverses the state from the Appalachian mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.
This has been a great place to hike, bike and play disc golf; not to mention the ease of resupply in the college town of Wake Forest, just 10 miles away.
Speaking of resupply; one thing we’ve realized, traveling around the country is that the grocery stores we shop at from home, operate under different names in different states. Kroger goes by the name of Fry’s, Harris Teeter, City Market, Smith’s and Ralph’s. They’re all owned and operated under the Kroger Co. banner. Giant and Food Lion are under the same parent company too as are Safeway and Albertsons. I think it’s funny we carry around 10 or 12 different rewards cards and are really only shopping at three different stores!
