Cultural Tourism in Bertie Co.

I've been on a few drives around the county lately with my teaching buddies, here are some pictures of the gloriousness.

This is actually in.. Beaufort Co. I think. It looks like some kind of alien abduction site, but it's hard to see all the towers in the picture.

Back Swamp Church of Christ Disciples!

Random house in the Indian Woods area of Bertie Co.

Deer stands are all over the place around here

The road ends and turns into a track through the field! I find this metaphoric for Bertie.

Again with the fields...

According to local folklore, this was a hanging true during slavery times.

Old plantation home, an Outlaw lived here. Outlaw is seriously a common name in these parts.

It does in those parts- but happily, I don't live there anymore! Yay! I'm actually having a "Leaving the Swamp Party" in a few weeks to celebrate :-)
