| Stamp #2 |
On Sunday, March 18, I visited the second park on my journey to become an Ultimate Outsider. From my home, Little Pee Dee State Park is just a 35 minute drive through lots of farmland, cow pastures, and swamps. The park is situated in the middle of a very rural area. Be sure to pack a lunch because there are no restaurants in the area. We passed through Fork, but there is no food there to stick a fork into. Lake Norton is the main feature of this park, however, the dam was severely damaged during the last hurricane, so there is little water in the lake. The lake features a fishing pier, but it barely reaches what's left of the water in Lake Norman. There is also a boat ramp, but it currently does not reach the water of Lake Norman because of the damage to the dam. When we arrived early on Sunday afternoon, the park was nearly empty and the office/gift shop was closed.
