The North Carolina Tourist
Home

Welcome to my site on the backroad adventures of North Carolina. With an extensive coastline, heavily wooded Piedmont regions, and the beautiful mountains along the Great Smokey Mountains there are plenty of great places to explore.

I'm constantly finding new places to explore. I started with both Revolutionary and Civil War battlegrounds. North Carolina was in a key location for both.

There are the plantations of North Carolina. Also the story of civil rights with historical places like the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum in Sedalia.

The mountains give us the Blue Ridge Parkway, white water rafting, Asheville, Grandfather Mountain and the Snow Ski resorts.

North Carolina is also famous for golf, with well over 100 golf clubs in the state. From famous links like Pinehurst to local 9 holes, there's a fairway near you where ever you are in North Carolina.

After a morning round of golf you can try stopping in one of North Carolina's new wineries. There's nothing like sipping a cold glass of wine overlooking the pine forests around the vineyard. Or celebrate a wedding among the vines with family and friends.

The elections are coming into the final stretch. Both conventions are over and bounces will cancel each other out.We see a lot of Larry Kissell ads but very little out of Robin Hayes. Two years ago it was non-stop Hayes. Kay Hagan surprised Elizabeth Dole and is giving a close fight. Dole, up from her nap is punching back. Perdue and McCrory are trading punches, but my money is on McCrory and his same ol' same button. Walter Jones won a contested primary fight and will probably take the election in his conservative district. Keep up with all the latest news on the North Carolina Blog.

I'm now visiting North Carolina wineries and posting reviews. See my wineries guide for more.

Fall is almost upon us, what despite hurricane warnings will that mean?
