Just wondering how many folks out there are from north Carolina?

Living in Denton, you probably see more native N. Carolinians than someone from Charlotte or Raleigh. Heck, Carey has been known as "Little New Jersey" for many years. N.C. was one of the fastest growing states back in the 80s & 90s and I enjoyed the advantages of that growth while living in S.C. just south of Charlotte. The growth rate slowed as the economy, based on tobacco/textiles/furniture, began to change at the turn of the century.
Over the years, I've really enjoyed the camping opportunities available in the Carolinas. An Ocean Lakes is fun once in a blue moon, but my interest lies in the Fed/C.O.E./State/City & County parks with their natural ambiance and larger sites. One of my favorites for a get-a-way is Arrowhead in the Uwharrie just south of you.
Enjoy while you can. N.C. is transitioning into a more diverse economy. Along with better jobs, it's mostly sub-tropical climate will create many more "Carey(s)". In 25 to 30 years, you'll be in my shoes. But, instead of looking for "old Florida", you'll be looking for "old North Carolina".
