This Month’s Issue: Carolina Country Adventures

Typically, we like to dedicate our April issue to travel. But with pandemic restrictions limiting travel options earlier this year, we saved travel for a summer month. So in this issue we explore a smattering of ways to visit destinations around the state and get some fresh air — some very high up, others closer to the ground. We also continue exploring North Carolina’s electric cooperatives’ Brighter Future initiative.
