NC State Parks report a 13% increase on visitors

Just heard this on the news and was wondering...did _YOU_ visit any NC State Parks in 2009?

I wanted to visit the Hatteras lighthouse (again) but never got the chance in 2009.

Seems the recession had folks visiting locally and taking in some of the beauty of NC.

I've been to the Williams B. Umstead Park (right by RDU) several times.

I mountian bike in one of the state parks so I have a yearly pass. Can't really count the number of times I went this past year. I would guess 40 to 50 times.
