NC Outdoor Links

When Daddy Roo and I were considering our move to North Carolina, our love of all things outdoorsy factored into our decision (along with all the things normal people focus on like cost-of-living, job market, etc.). I mean I seriously went to REI’s website and checked how many REI stores were in town. I figured that would give me a good idea of whether or not the Triangle was “outdoorsy enough” for us. Nice huh?

Along the path of my research, I found some great links about things to do outdoors in NC.
