Chasing fish in one of North Carolina’s most remote locations, Cape Lookout National Seashore. We spent the weekend camping, surfing, fishing, and dealing with a lot of tropical weather! - - Coming next week is the release of our mini-documentary showing an adventure to Cape Lookout full of fun activities as well as the raw and exposed reality of being on the island. Stay tuned! #KalineCrew capelookoutnps ncoutdoorrec ourstatemag visitnc

This is one of my favorite places to stumble out of a tent in the morning! That night there were stars, lightning bugs, and storms in the distance. Camping on Black Balsam will never get old. Many people realize that this bald formed as the result of extensive clear cutting and multiple locomotive fires. 🔥 #blackbalsamknob #appalachianbalds #forest #pisgahnationalforest #welovenc #earthfocus #snakes #herps #nature #show_us_nature #naturalnorthcarolina #wearebrevardnc #brevardnc #naturenc #visitnc #wnc #appalachia #reptiles #naturephotography #highfalls #avltoday #naturelovers #waterfalls #outaboutnc #transylvaniacounty
