My last county visit of the current trek into Eastern, NC was to Hoke County. And, with that, I have 7 counties left! They present a bit more of a challenge, but I'll get there! (Eventually)

My second county visit yesterday, while driving towards Elizabeth City was to Duplin County.
Ya know, sometimes, you just don't spend a ton of time on one of the visits LOL
Sorry Duplin #100counties #nc #duplincounty

Blogging the same day as you travel? That's what happens when you aren't super interested in the Super Bowl LOL
Stopped by Sampson County which included the town of Turkey? And some cows chasing a deer?

Really appreciate the shout out for my travels around NC from @markdanowsky.bsky.social in his thought provoking blog about Travel in the Time of Trump.
I am hoping to visit a few more counties soon - once this cold weather abates.

Probably my last county visit of the year: Bladen County. I took a ride on a cable river ferry! And learned about the Elizabethtown Revolutionary War battle.

For the third county of my recent coastal road trip in NC, I took in an amazing sunset while eating nachos, braved the Cedar Island Ferry crossing (2.5 hrs), and visited a burial ground with stones dating back to the 1700s.

I've submitted a few updated photos and such to Atlas Obscura over the last year or so of my wanderings, but I submitted an actual article back in July that was recently approved about the Jackson Grave Houses.

My most recent travel included a stop in Haywood County where my first goal was to see the tribute to writer Fred Chappell at the Canton branch of the public library. It was a lovely visit.

A recent wandering into Avery County includes an old picture of me "in the wild" as well as reflections on what accessible means when it comes to natural views like waterfalls.

What does a wandering instructional designer/writer etc. do when the power is out? Visit a new county and have cheesecake for "brunch".

Last week I posted my travel blog about Cherokee County, NC, but I also "finished" my travels in Swain County the same day. I think I need at least one more visit to to "finish" the westernmost parts of NC.

Today's travel blog explores the westernmost county in NC: Cherokee County. Although my photo selection is brief, I reflected a lot in this post about potential prior trips to the area.
