A couple of weeks ago, Alex and I decided we wanted to go camping as the last time we camped was back in 2003!  We made a run to Target where we purchased a tent, a cooler, lighters, and food.  We spent last week looking for places in North Carolina where we could go for the weekend.  We were hoping to go north around the Asheville area, but all the campsites were reserved and when I called to see about "first come, first serve" availability, the park ranger informed me those campsites typically fill up by Wednesday and Thursday.  As we were leaving after Alex got off work Friday, we did not want to risk driving over two hours only to find out there were no campsites available.  So, we decided to head to Morrow Mountain State Park. Lucky for us, they had plenty of sites available to reserve.
