From the Back Cover

Great Adventures in North Carolina explores the exciting, alternative travel adventures North Carolina has to offer and shows you how and where to experience them. When vacations fail to recharge or refresh you, and the family becomes restless with the same old routine, then follow Lynn Setzer to exotic, thrilling, and surprising adventures in the Tar Heel State. This wonderful book includes such adventures as sea kayaking in the waters near Beaufort, panning for rubies like the miners of old, and experiencing the thrill of stock car racing as you speed at 165 miles per hour over unforgiving asphalt track. With activities suitable for the adrenaline junkie or the quiet inquisitive explorer, you'll find over thirty adventures to choose from. If you ignore the possibilities of adventure, are you really living? (6 x 9, 224 pages, b&w photos, maps)
