Switchbacks at Hawks Nest

I Love U 2

Visited with some friends at noon in Weaverville

Checked out the Vance Birthplace. 'Ol Zeb was Governor during the "War of Northern Aggression" or some such little skirmish as they call it down here in NC

Then came the localized summer thunderstorm. I got lucky, donned the froggy toggs and skirted it. Somehow missed my turn to head back up to the parkway and found a cool road Reem's Creek that meandered back around to Barnardsville.
Friday night the campground filled up fast. Swimming hole on the Toe River is a big summertime draw.
