Abstract:
Opened in 1883, it fulfilled customers’ needs from the cradle to the grave…literally. Mast General Store’s location in Valle Crusis almost lives up to the store’s slogan from that time: “if you can’t buy it here, you don’t need it,” indicated in the accompanied photo. As for the general store nuance of yesteryear, that can be perceived in the chicken coop door on the floor (deterrent for dishonest chicken barterers) and a five cent cup of coffee.

In continuing to set aside the land, visitors can still experience the sacred in its hiking trails, cabins, on-site chapel, and man-made lakes. As for Timberlake’s present owner, Carolyn Toben, the site has had this effect, providing comfort and consolation during a forty year span defined by professional gain and personal loss.

Abstract:
Mystery lies in the origin for Carolina Bays, technically lakes and named for a tree that thrives in their peat-filled soil. Theories attribute sinkholes, spawning fish, and meteors to the creation of lakes such as Horseshoe, Jones, Antioch Church Bay, and Singletary. Photos showcasing features such tannin-rich lakes offering cool water on hot days and limestone-generated biodiversity help explain their appeal to generations of Native Americans, locals, and tourists.
