We're back in Florida (New Smyrna Beach--check out the map) and will be at this campground until at least the end of March. We're not working for the campground, but we may find somewhere to volunteer in the area just to keep busy. It's a nice campground with a large pool, lots of tropical vegetation, a fishing pond and plenty of good shopping and beaches nearby.
I've got a few leftover pics to share from our Upper Peninsula/Boone adventure.
Here's Wiley hiking the trail on Elk Knob. The higher we got, the more snow there was. Gorgeous, but I'm still glad to be back in Florida!
We took one last ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway to admire the foliage. Spectacular!
We also drove out to see Chimney Rock. Lake Lure lies at its foot. We decided that we didn't want to spent $14 just to drive up to Chimney Rock, so we just saw it from a distance over the lake. Maybe next trip.
On the way back to Florida from Boone, we stopped in Dahlonega and Helen, GA. We enjoyed the museum in Dahlonega (site of the first gold rush in the U.S.) and did a little Christmas shopping in Helen, GA. Google Dahlonega to learn some history you probably didn't know. Here's a link to one interesting site: Dahlonega History.
And, of course, we continued to admire the gorgeous autumn foliage.Okay--we're up to date now. As soon as somebody tells me they're still interested in reading my blog, I'll post again! (Just kidding. You all know I like blogging as much as you like reading it.) Belated Happy Halloween!

Wow. Enjoying the beautiful fall foilage. In Helen, Georgia, is that real live foilage on the lamp post? It looks too green to be real.
Love the lovely shot of Lake Lure. The water looks so clear. What a peaceful photo.
In your shot labeled "Christimas trees," it reminds me very much of a shot I took while in Indonesia. We were driving up through a mountainous range called The Punjak. A restaurant overlooked the area (where the picture of the home in your photo sits - way in the background)but instead of trees, imagine looking over acres and acres of tea plantations. I will one day try to find my photo -- you'll see how similar the two photos are in many ways. It brought back many wonderful memories.
I left you a long comment in your previous blog. Am thoroughly enjoying back into blog-reading again.
