10+ hour, 44+ min ago (679+ words) RALEIGH, N.C. " Bill Belichick stood at the microphone in a crowded room of reporters.

The wetland environment adds another layer of claustrophobic charm, with much of the terrain consisting of marshes, swampy soil, and low-lying areas that remain damp year-round. Hikers should…...
