Day 10 (part 2): North Carolina

Our second stop was at Pilot Mountain State Park. I can't tell you how excited Jessie and I were when we saw this mountain from the side of the road. Luckily we got to drive most of the way up, and we only had to do a short trail around the top. There were also a few overlooks that we stopped at where we saw a beautiful valley below, which we all enjoyed. At first it was a little foggy and you couldn't see the whole mountain but after the hike we went back to an overlook and got a couple of pictures, like the photo shown. When we were driving in the parking lot we stopped to let a squirrel by, but it seemed to be challenging us, as if saying "Come closer I dare you!" Thankfully it finally moved and we went on to find a parking place.
