Some of the most memorable trips or vacations
can be to places that people may call “in the middle of nowhere.” Once
we find them we hope no one else will, or we hope that at least
they will remain as they were when we found them.
But we know that
every place changes. Places that are out of the mainstream may
change more gradually than the popular destinations.
And we have chosen to protect some places as parks and reserves.
We
are lucky in North Carolina to have many places that are off the
beaten path. Tourists haven’t even seen some of them.
I can think of a few that I especially enjoy (but I’m not
telling where they are).
Plenty of our readers were willing to tell
us about their favorite out-of-the-way vacations. Following are
a few stories that were
selected for publication. You can also submit
your own. Thanks to everyone who submitted stories
for
this month.
