I live in Florida, but I plan on purchasing some property in that area near Hickory and living there during the summer. I think North Carolina is one of the most beautiful places in all the US. I especially enjoy The Great Smoky Mountains National Forest. NC is the homeland, and it has stolen my heart.

@ekacfeeb12 - Thank you! I agree - NC is a beautiful state! I have lived in NC most of my life. I think this state has a little bit of everything. We have tiny towns, big cities, mountains, coast, plenty to see and do....I love the Great Smoky Mtns. My family has actually been thinking about moving up there. I was born in the mountains of NC (Boone), but currently live in the Piedmont (Winston-Salem/Greensboro) area. The countryside around Hickory is gorgeous! Nice place to live.

@bbygirlkelly - I hope you have a lot of fun and find some really good stones! Let me know how you enjoyed your visit there.

@Dismalic i would be inclined to disagree being the large hole i had in my foot from treading a creek without footwear ,never know what sharp things lay beneath your bare feet until you stand on it

[HarrysSecret]

[RussellStuartIrwin]

That looks like so much fun! I hope I can make it to NC sometime in the near future!

Your video showed up under my account because of one of my own videos.  It's about gemstones, hope you can check it out (look under my page for "Precious").

@ekacfeeb12 I lived in NC all my (western NC) life up until a few ago. Even though the mountains of NC are beautiful the prices on real estate in western NC is ridiculous. Now I live in Western VA,just above the TN state line and i can tell you. The land here is every bit as gorgeous and even more untouched as NC plus, you can buy mountain top land out here for nearly nothing. Check VA out before you write the check for NC. Take care.

I watch this mine on national geographic, and I want to come there from Italy to search some good stones. There are some cheap hotels, hostels for young or similar near the mine?
