I thought it would be fun for our first ever post to our blog to just talk a little bit about our recent trip to Raven Rock State Park. It is one of those pretty small little parks that litter the landscape in North Carolina. This one is right along the Cape Fear river near Lillington, only a matter of about 30 or so miles down south on 55 and 401 from Cary. It was most definitely worth the trip. Plenty of trails, lots of nature. The park gets its name from the huge rock feature along the banks of the river, which is quite impressive. You really have to see it to appreciate the scale of it. There are quite a few steps to climb down though to get to that part. My legs are still sore from it, but definitely more than worth it. Even with it being well over 90, it was still bearable because of all the shade. It was definitely evident that the drought was being felt there as the river was clearly low and the creeks and streams were almost totally dry. It was sad because there were several places where the creek would have been BEAUTIFUL with water flowing. Maybe we will make it back sometime after a nice rain.
