It got down below freezing last night and is expected to get down to 31 Saturday night. While it isn't unusual for North Carolina, we have had some wild weather swings. Hopefully, we won't get any more hail like we did a few weeks ago. It was larger than quarter-size and my car sustained about $2,000 worth of damage. I will take it in to the shop later this month to get the dents removed. Unhappy

Well Hogone, the invite is still open, c'mon up.  Actually we are getting quite a few phone calls from golfers in the lower part of Michigan wanting to play.  And with 6" on the ground we have already postponed our opening date for all three of our 18 hole courses.  Probably won't open until a week from this Friday, and that is only tentative.  Next week isn't going to be very warm either.  This global warming has been killing us the past several years.  Not much heat in the north.

Stephen, I'm glad we were able to meet up with you at Falls Lake.

My wife and I have been tent camping at Falls Lake for more than 10 years. There are several campgrounds at Falls Lake, but Holly Point is our favorite. The loop we were in is one of the nicer areas because of the beach and water access. It's also a favorite spot for fishing and launching a kayak or canoe.

NC does a pretty good job of maintaining the Falls Lake campgrounds clean and safe. The rangers are always there to lend a hand or keep crowds and large groups in check. We've always had a great time when we go and will continue going for as long as we can. It's our go-to campground when we want to get away for a weekend.

If you enjoyed Falls Lake, I recommend you visit Jordan Lake also. It's off of Hwy 64 past Apex. Also a wonderful campground and great for a 2-4 night stay. There's a Super Target nearby for those last-minute things we always forget and it's very accessible.

See you around.

It was quite enjoyable. I am pretty sure it won't be our only trip there.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us.  Another 4 - 6" snow expected tonight and tomorrow in our area.  Spring will eventually come.  Our garden seeds have already germinated indoors!
