We went to Raven Rock State Park which was near Lillington and Fuquay-Varina and camped there for a night. I think the only bad part was that we had to hike two miles to get to our campsite. Also, there was no water at the campsite so we had to carry all the water bottles with us. Also, on the first day, we hiked back to the parking site to meet the ranger and then hike back. There were some pretty cool things on the trail though. There was a place called Overlook and that was basically a stone balcony that you could see the Cape Fear River from. Also, we saw the rock which was this huge rock that hung over the water and was as tall as two or three houses! The lunch was boiled hot dogs and the dinner was Easy Mac which was a macaroni and cheese thing that you poured water into and then it became something close to macaroni and cheese. We also had marshmallows and mine never got brown, one side expanded but it was always still white. After that, we went to bed. Our tent was super hot and I was stuck to the sleeping bag. Plus the cicadas were deafening and there was an owl that kept on hooting. Finally I fell asleep and woke up early next morning. I packed my stuff and sat outside. It was cool and not that hot. Breakfast was eggs in a bag and we did the hike all over again and finally got to the parking lot. We took a car back to Raleigh.
