National Geographic Adventure Magazine
Visits the Roanoke
T. Edward Nickens has written about this area for national magazines (like the articles on the Cypress Grill in Southern Living and Smithsonian magazines) but this article took him deep into the swamps of the Roanoke for some primitive camping. By Nicken's standards, primitive means a Nalgene bottle of wine and some freezer-fresh wild game sautéed in olive oil. Still, the surroundings are primordial and Nickens always tells his story well.  

The article was in the April issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine in the Trips section, bottom of page 31 and all of page 32!


 

T. Edward Nickens writes for Southern Living, National Wildlife, Audubon, and Backpacker, among others. He has written several articles related to the Roanoke.

This photo of Nickens was taken when he was writing an article on the Cypress Grill for Smithsonian Magazine. Left, Cypress Grill operators, Leslie and Sally Gardner(seated), Nickens, Cypress Grill owner "Red" Roberson and local fisherman Guy Cox,  talk about the Grill.
