Ararat, NC. What was that again?

Ararat is a very small town, about 10 miles south of Mount Airy, NC. Very well located to the adventures we chose to do in this area. On Thursday, May 16, we moved to Homeplace Park Campground in Ararat. A very nice resort type of campground, with its own waterfall! It was not yet running at full steam for the summer season, so we had plenty of room!

We spent our first 2 days in Mount Airy, which most of you will also know as Andy Griffith's Mayberry. We had ALOT of fun here! Wait until you see the video we did here. I'm not gonna give you any spoilers!!

We bought this really awesome t-shirt!

Next, we went to Pilot Mountain, which was our first experience with very large mountains and roads with HUGE dropoffs. Wow! What a ride! And getting to the top was not any easier. I had trouble going to the top of the trail to get any video of Pilot Mountain, but Ed made it up there and got some great photos! Please remember, we are both deathly afraid of heights! LOL. 

The next day we went to Hanging Rock State Park. Although we did not actually go see the Hanging Rock, because the hike was very long and we are not quite in shape for that. But we did take in a couple of waterfalls in that Park. First... Upper Cascade Falls.

Then Hidden Falls.

Both pretty awesome! And we were so blessed! We didn't run into anybody at either of the Falls, and were able to enjoy them on our own. But we did run into several parties making their way TO Hidden Falls, as we were climbing back up the hill. And we had another little surprise when we got to Hidden Falls, but you will have to wait for the video to find out what it was! LOL.
