Taking a Short Drive Into North Carolina

About five minutes from
The Club Lake Gaston Resort
is the North Carolina border.

We are in Northampton

County

The white stuff along the
edge of the field is
unpicked Cotton.

Sweet Potatoes at 50 cents

a pound....

We're stopping!

After looking over the
Cabbage field, I to bring
a head home.

Eric picks large

Sweet Potatoes.

We chatted with the farmer for a few minutes and left with a few small Sweet Potatoes to cut up for frying and a couple of Turnips too.  YUM!

Gaston is a "four corner"
town.

Blink, & you'll miss
downtown.

KapStone  Paper & Packaging is

 probably the major employer in

this area.
