North Carolina Mountains--October 18-10, 2010

Ah, yes, we were leery of narrow roads from Tennessee into North Carolina so we took the interstate to Brevard, North Carolina. We found a site at Davidson River Campground in the Pisgah National Forest. It was a great site, but the tree cover and mountains interfered with phone and internet signals....not to mention our solar panels.Our first night in the campground we went in search of geocaches near the campground. We found about 50% with the other 50% being missing. We hiked to English Chapel--named after its first minister.Then we hiked along the Davidson River towards Brevard.The leaves are at their peak of fall colors and we enjoyed seeing the change!Tuesday we visited Ernie and took a trip to Mast General Store. I always like looking through the 'old' general store.

We took a trip to Bullington so I could see the tree dedicated in memory of my sister Carolyn. It is a dove tree and will live 150 years.
Wednesday Bob and I went hiking and caching along US 276 in Pisgah National Forest. We stopped at Looking Glass Falls.
About a mile down the road we stopped to hike to Moore's Cove Falls. There were caches to find along the way. We found all of the ones that didn't involve getting feet wet.The water fall at Moore's Cove had much less volume than Looking Glass, but it was still a nice place to visit.
After eating dinner with Ernie, we said our goodbyes and headed back to the campground. Thursday was another moving day.
