Brock Mill Pond Park is operated by the Friends of Brock Mill and Jones County. It offers a…read morepeaceful setting for a short walk, with its historic mill and shaded paths providing a quiet escape into nature. The tranquil atmosphere and scenic views of the pond make it a pleasant spot to stretch your legs or enjoy a moment of reflection. However, today the stillness of the water seemed to invite an unwelcome crowd--mosquitoes were out in full force, making the visit a bit less comfortable than usual. Despite the buzzing company, the park's charm and historical significance still shine through. Settlement of the site goes back to the early 1700s, when the first mill was built along Crooked Run Creek. Over the centuries, the site evolved through various owners and names, including Hatch's Mill and McDaniel's Mill, before becoming Brock Mill in 1899. The current mill house, constructed in the 1940s, replaced an earlier structure and continued producing cornmeal, grits, and livestock feed until its commercial operations ceased in 1964. Notably, Mr. Brock installed a turbine generator in 1916, bringing electricity to Trenton well before the Rural Electrification Act, marking the site as both a historical and technological landmark.

Hidden gem in Craven County, the Cow Pen Landing NC Wildlife boat ramp in Vanceboro is a quiet…read moreplace to reflect while watching the Neuse River stream past you. Nice floating dock where you can sit and have lunch while you listen to the area's birds sing the favorite songs. This boat ramp is a small one without much activity. There are no picnic tables, so we sat on the fishing benches on the dock to enjoy our lunch. Also, this is a very rustic launch with no bathrooms, so be prepared to hold it. If you're in the area and want to get away for a quick break, Cow Pen is a nice little oasis.

It was obvious business is well liked as customers drove their bikes straight in store for service and seemed to have a great rapport with all. Took out my bike this morning and very happy with performance and felt the instructions Steve gave left me pretty knowledgeable for a first ride. I will be back for my check-up in a few months and I have no doubt service will be top notch once again! Oh and he talked me into a Yellow helmet with blinkers and strobes. Feeling pretty cool and safe on the road

When you walk in, you are greeted by one of the friendly staff members (Madeline is so sweet!), and you'll notice the cleanliness of the facility, the first-rate equipment and the overall upbeat energy of the place. Everything you need for health and fitness is right here...classes, equipment/machines and personal trainers. CLASSES - I've really been enjoying the classes so much and the teachers are amazing. There is so much variety! I love taking Amie's BODYPUMP class, Brooke's TONE class, Diane's PILATES (Mat & Reformer) class and Tamara's YOGA class. There are lots of classes in addition to these that I haven't tried yet, so I recommend coming in to check out all they have to offer, as I'm sure you'll find classes that will be just the right fit for you. EQUIPMENT/MACHINES - There is a huge variety of equipment at Sound, along with many different weight machines to choose from. There are plenty of treadmills, ellipticals, cycling and stair machines...too many to list, actually. At Sound Fitness there is truly something for everyone and everything is always kept clean and well-maintained. PERSONAL TRAINERS - There are some wonderful personal trainers at Sound Fitness and I had the pleasure of working with Brooke (the owner) recently. She is amazing! She educated me on how certain exercises and just slight tweaks of form can make a huge difference in overall mobility and fitness. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients and gym members. Sound Fitness is the perfect gym, in my opinion...not too big as to overwhelm but just the right size for all of your fitness needs. I'm so glad to have found my "fit family" at Sound Fitness!
