Hickory, NC

A stop in Greensboro for dinner at Nattye's Pub and Grill, more traveling on I-40, and then the search for Bunker Hill Covered Bridge before the sunset - unfortunately, we ran out of sun, signs, and patience, maybe next time? Regardless - Greensboro reminded me of no other town before, which is hard to come across.

Hickory, NC for the night and then Brevard again in the morning...I seem to have sung this song before...

Dear Friends and Family -

I have spent the past 4 weeks in Brevard, North Carolina working as a camp counselor, the past 3 days in Raleigh, and the past hour trying to figure out an appropriate name for this blog - I considered a Kerouac reference, but that would be setting a high standard for myself. I have told many people about my plan for the summer, and figure this is a good way to keep in touch and keep everyone updated on my travels. Instead of sharing my plan, now or at any point, I hope to simply share what happens - and if the entire trip is a bore, at least document the places I have visited.

So, to begin:

I am sitting in the New World Music Cafe in Raleigh, waiting for Dan's plane to get in at 4:30 and for the long drive to start. I left camp on Friday and drove to Raleigh to spend some time with a friend from school, Matt - the Natural History Museum, the Capitol, Raleigh Downtown Live with the Tubes (not impressed), and extremely sweet tea.

I'm not sure where I'll be sleeping tonight - but stay posted!
