Welcome to the forums. This is probably the best place to ask questions about your Montana. Lots of good knowledgeable folks here willing to share everything they know and have experienced.... the good, the bad, and even the ugly.

Where abouts in North Carolina are you located? I did a camp host position for the month of August 2022 at Pilot Mountain State Park near Mount Airy and returning back again in August 2023. I lived near Morganton between 1979-1981 off of highway 64 (South of Morganton) and my wife and I have done a lot of camping in other State Parks in North Carolina over the years, including the Outer Banks. We visit the Charlotte area for 2 weeks about every other year as I have a cousin who lives in Matthews and we absolute love Cane Creek Park near Waxhaw, NC.

So, just wondering where you are located. Even back in 1979, those mountain people, who had never traveled more than 20 miles from their homestead all their lives, even said, they know they live in God's Country. Why would they travel any where else.

I always said, when I retired, I wanted to return back to North Carolina. Well, I live in Indiana, but last year I did retire in January and in August, I did get to spend an entire month of that retirement at Pilot Mountain. So, in a way, I got my wish. And greatly looking forward to returning again in for another month of "retirement" this August.

Congrats on getting your Montana! Happy camping!
