In this episode I'm going to tell you about The Linville Gorge. The Gorge has several nicknames including "The Grand Canyon Of The East," and "The Crown Jewel Of The Blue Ridge." I would say that both of those names are fitting because this amazing place is one if the most beautiful natural wonders that I have ever seen.
The Gorge isn't just a beautiful canyon. It contains Linville Falls, Wiseman's View, and Daffodil Flats. It also comes with a really interesting backstory that spans a billion years and includes The Cherokee and John D. Rockerfeller Jr.

This episode is the first of it's kind on The NC Everything Podcast. First, I have an addition to make to my last episode on Bath and New Bern. I know you guys are ready to get away from the coast for a bit but bear with me. If you want to skip that, see the note at the top of this summary.
Next I will move into the episode's content. Now this started with a suggestion from Rip from Smithfield about an explosion. But then I decided to look at what other accidents have occurred around the state. There were far more than I could fit into a single episode, so if you know of one that I did not mention, it was not because I didn't find it important. I go over my criteria for my choices in the show.
The last thing I want to say is that I am not trying to make light or "cash in" on any tragedy. As I put this episode together, I learned about some upsetting events that I had never heard of, and I feel like these events and these people should not be lost to history and forgotten about.

I decided that since this will be the first episode of the new year, I would cover the first towns North Carolina.

Now because these are the first towns in what would become our great state, naturally, there will be some state firsts that occur here so keep an ear out for them.
