Nov 5, 2010 - Hot Springs, North Carolina

The rain of yesterday was still with us this morning when we got up. Regardless of the foul weather we were eager to get out and do something. I think we would have been up for almost anything except hiking in the rain. We decided to drive the 25 or so miles over to Hot Springs, NC. Today was not the first time we’ve been to that tiny community. The Appalachian Trail runs right through the middle of town along the sidewalk of Bridge Street. We’ve hiked down the mountain into town and on another occasion come to town and walk up the mountain...

Apr 24, 2009 - Trail Magic

It's been a little while since my last update, but Lu and I had to get to Fontana Dam and then through the Great Smoky Mountains.

It is a rural, out of the way spot on the Appalachian Trail. Hikers love the local diner -- they get "real" food and lots of attention from the admiring locals. Our...

Jun 15, 2008 - Riding again in the beautiful mts. of NC

After attending church at St. James in the neighboring town of Black Mountain, Fred and I drove to Asheville to have Father’s Day Brunch at the Flying Frog. We were supposed to meet the RVers we’d met on Thursday who had recommended the restaurant to us, but they never showed up! That was OK because the brunch was excellent; we were glad they’d recommended it. My favorite foods were the spinach ravioli and the freshly prepared four berry sauce for pancakes, while Fred liked the roasted new red potatoes with peppers and onions and the “make...
