Wow, so close... we were thinking we may be up there in that neck of the woods the following weekend in October on our first year anniversary, but it's still not definite and we may opt for something closer to home so we're not spending half the time driving.
Amanda is from the Canton, OH area and we used to make that I-95 to I-26 to I-77 run (passes through Charlotte) pretty regularly. Looks like Uwharrie is not far off that track. And although we haven't been there in quite a while now, we are planning to go up that way (en route to Ohio) around Labor Day, too.
We'll see... it's probably not looking good for me, but don't count me out just yet either. I have two more vacation days I can take. :-)
