In this Issue…
Bears and snakes, bees and poison ivy, wood nettles and hypothermia… nothing deterred Kevin Adams from preparing the third edition of North Carolina Waterfalls for John F. Blair Publishers. More than 250 waterfalls are included… from Maggie Valley and Cherokee to the Uwharrie Mountains near Asheboro. And what better time than fall to visit what the Indians call The Laughing Waters.
Waterfalls suggest mountains which are featured in this issue as well from Hugh Morton’s Grandfather Mountain to Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi.
Going from mountains to sea, there’s new evidence on the fate of the Lost Colony, America’s long enduring mystery, and an introduction to one of Raleigh’s favorite breweries, Ponysaurus, where the alchemy of transforming hops into a golden brew is an art.
A special feature introduces 13 of the Triad’s Active Adult Living Communities where the living is great and life is easy. They offer home ownership with a low-maintenance lifestyle that’s especially appealing to seniors who have better things to do than mow the lawn and prune the shrubbery.
Meanwhile, we welcome contact with you, the reader, and comments on what you’d like to read about in future issues. What are we missing about which young adults (from 50 on) would like to read?
