Charging off to Charlotte and very Green Greensboro...

Downtown Charlotte we were met by 6 bike cops who tried to assist (unsuccessfully) with the broken parking meter we encountered.  Interesting town... went out to visit the NC Raptor Center and that was quite impressive with large variety of rescued falcons, hawks and raptors including eagles.  Visited Winghaven private residence for birds. Also did some biking along their scenic Sugar Creek Greenway.... and had BURNT PORK ENDS & some Salmon with bacon wrapped jalapenos at the Midwood Smokehouse.  Camped out at the Charlotte Camping World Raceway.

After Charlotte on to Greensboro.....  Father's day walk at the Bog across from Tanger's Garden... did some boating down south east of G-boro in Jordan Lake and caught the biggest catfish I ever had...went tubing for 2 hours down the Dan River... visited hr away to Mt Airy (AKA Mayberry) Where Andy Griffith grew up and where the show was based on; ate at Barney's Cafe and walked around .... also able to join in celebration of Danette and Josh's wedding while there.
