Trails End Campground about an hour south of Winston-Salem was our home for 3 nights. With the forecast calling for daytime temperatures in the seventies and nightime temps in the fifties, we decided to finally give Ivan his first night in the camper.
And with this brochure description, how could anyone resist?
"Trails End Campground is right across the road from the NC zoo; campers awake each morning to the sounds of elephants trumpeting, lions roaring, animals grunting and growling; all sorts of wild noises that cannot be heard at any other North Carolina campsite."With great anticipation, I listened the next morning and almost convinced myself that I heard them. An elephant's trumpet is easily confused with the honking of Canada geese it seems.
The wild animal's paws you see here are Ivan's, proof that the dirt really is red down here. Next stop: Seagrove, North Carolina, where you can find redware pottery made from local red clay, along with the traditional salt-glazed stoneware prized by collectors.
