IDK if any of you have been out to Hyde county but it is THE backwoods of NC it's the 2nd least populated county in the state it's the middle of nowhere basically the whole county doesn't even possess a single stop light

Hey ! Why is there a vid of the Stumpy point water tower ! that's in Dare county, not Hyde ;)
Of course they have this most peculiar accent there ! I was talking from someone one day in Engelhard, who was trying to explain to me about the legends that were told about how lake Mattamuskeet was formed.. a great peat fire.. But he was saying this as : a "great pit far".. took me a minute to get a straight !
