North Carolina

"Deep inside of Humpback Mountain lie the Linville Caverns, North Carolina's only caverns. These caverns were first explored by the white man over 100 years ago. It is said that in 1822 a fisherman noticed trout swimming in and out of the mountain and he began looking for a way to see where they were going. While visiting the caverns you can experience the awe this fisherman felt upon viewing the inside of his discovery." Area Attractions is part of Western NC, Linville Caverns page. There is a long list of local attractions and places of interest. The website page for the cave is not online, under construction. This page gives a little history but only one photo. The "showcaves/showcaves" page gives a bit more description but no photos. It does mention the bottomless lake. The Webshots page has lots of photos. Find more photos of the cavern and some of the waterfalls on this blogspot.

This site lists Linville Cavern but also one called Boone's Cave (State Park) with a small entrance to a very small cave. Some other interesting places as well.

Along the Atlantic: This is the Coastline page. You will find a links on the far right column for the Outer Banks (islands and lighthouses), Crystal Coast, Topsail Area, Cape Fear and the Brunswick Area. In the Crystal Coast page, you'll find links to the State Parks, Museums, Aquariums, Reserves and lighthouses. And links to the different beaches you'd like to see. Want a glimpse of the coastline? Follow the links for the Crystal Coast and then the History and Tours. Look halfway down that page for Crystal Coast Air Tours where you'll find lots of beautiful photos. There are also links to other tours and state parks. I haven't ventured down every pathway but want to take my time and enjoy the pretty sights. This page will show you links to the Mountains and Piedmont (nightlife, dining, museums, sports and race cars.)
