Carolina Outdoors Guide is designed, compiled and written by Chris Nelson. It is based on a publication called Discover Carolina Outdoors that Chris researched and wrote for the Display Advertising Department of The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, each year from 2004-2006. This Web version has more information than was possible to put in the printed publication, including maps, and has additional material based on Chris' visits with family and friends to the places listed. The companion This Land, Your Land blog keeps up with developments at public lands in North Carolina and thereby updates the Web site.
Chris also manages The Medium, The Message, a blog that keeps up with media, with a focus on advertising, newspapers and The McClatchy Co., the third-largest newspaper publisher in the country and owner of The N&O; and Carolina Music Festivals, a comprehensive calendar and guide to multi-act, daylong or multiple-day music shows in North Carolina. |
