Nice post! I live in NC and the places that you mentioned are great finds! I’ve been hiking several places and Crowders State Park hasn’t been on my list yet, my family and I will have to check it out. We live near the coast and have been to several of the lighthouses. My favorite is Cape Look out. I actually wrote a blog about the NC lighthouses too and several blogs about my Etsy shop.
