Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
This impressive rest stop in North Carolina offers beautiful landscaped gardens, a wooded walking trail, and a Visitor Center. Located near Mile Marker 58 in Sea Grove, Interstate 73/74 Visitor Center Northbound in Randolph County opened in 2010, offering travelers a nice place to rest ever since.

It offers the usual restrooms and water fountains, but the Northbound Visitor Center features lovely landscaped grounds with at least one hundred trees.
Interstate 73/74 Visitor Center Northbound offers everything you need for some time away from the road.
