Pictures 7: North Carolina bridge

I freaked out when I saw this bridge from the road. I pulled over and got out to explore. I've never had any fear going into abandoned buildings, though people always warn me about squatters and rotting floors and broken glass and stuff like that. I can't not go inside. If someday I crash through a floor, it will be my repayment to the universe for a lifetime of seeing amazing abandoned houses.

This bridge was located just outside Cherokee, NC, along Route 19 (I think).

Pictures 6: North Carolina countryside

These were mostly taken in Graham County, the poorest county in North Carolina. However, it is also one of the most beautiful. Patrick and I camped at Snowbird, an area of the mountains named after an old Cherokee settlement. The county is home to the Cherokee reservation, amazing nature trails, and tons of little towns.

This moth landed on the inside of my car window.


Patrick stopped by a gas station and store that he goes to every time he visits Snowbird (I believe it's located in Robbinsville, or close to it); but clearly, gassing up was not an option.
