We are celebrating Veteran’s Day in the Uwharries! 🇺🇸
Mr. Jim McIntyre, aka “One” was a “SeaBee” with the Navy.
He explained that hardness of war softened his heart, so “One” devoted the last years of his life to making flower baskets and giving them away…
One.

Did you know it wasn’t until 2007 that we humans became a majority-urban species?
Historically, in order to survive, the majority of humans lived in grasslands and forests, next to lakes and rivers...
It is believed that this loss of human-nature interaction has a direct link to the rising of mental health disorders.
“The sound of running water aids in diminishing depression and water sounds have been used within meditation practice for years, it is known to encourage a more peaceful pace of thought.”

“If the good Lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise.”This famous phrase is believed to have originated in North Carolina, when Col. Benjamin Hawkins was summoned to the nation’s capitol in the early 1800’s. In Col. Hawkins written reply to the president, he capitalized the word “Creek”, leading historians to believe he was referring to the Creek Indian Tribe and not a body of water. #DiscoverUwharrie #URE #UwharrieNationalForest #Uwharrie #Adventure #HIKE #OutdoorAdventures #FunFacts #History #NCHistory #VisitUwharrie #VisitNC
