NC State Parks - Medoc Mountain

Medoc Mountain State Park

It was a beautiful day in the high 70's and low humidity.  The Medoc Mountain would be hard to recognize as a mountain.  It got its name from the Medoc/wine making region of France and at one time in the 1800's was a successful winery.  

It is now a very unique State Park.  It has a large assortment of mountain bike trails, camping like many parks but what makes it different is the significant telescopes that are used on some organized viewing nights.  It looks like a great place to introduce the kids to this aspect of the parks.
