It's sad to see such a beautiful area go up in smoke....... as we
have been down Highway 52 many time's, all through the 90's, picking
up part's car's & project's in eastern N.C. I hope they get the fire out soon. I alway's wanted to stop and visit the park, but never did. It will come back, will just take many year's to get back to like it was.

this mornings paper said atleast 700 acres have burned and expecting 1000 before all said and done. my neibor works for the local police force and he said the fire was started by the park ranger not the forestry serv. and their was also a wind advisory. go figure.
