Over the past 20 years I have found a number of different places to hike and take photos, most of them in South Carolina. One of the last places I found was DuPont State Recreational Forest in North Carolina. I had heard of it for number of years but had never visited. It was a more than two-hour drive, a long way just to spend an hour or so in the woods, but the online information seemed interesting, and so on an early morning I set out in that direction.
