Off we go! We are headed to Fort Hamby Campground. It's an Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Campground, near Wilkesboro, NC about 3 hours from home.
We had some beautiful views along the way!
Mandatory fire...check!
And another good morning!
Breakfast for the crew: on the left, Becky, Homan, Stu, Jan and Jerry.
You're not camping unless you have a pig napkin holder!
We had a nice hot day, perfect for a little floating...
The next day we took a ride on the City of Lenior Greenway. We had a beautiful day!
Lunch time!
Sports complex along the trail.
Hot and sweaty, me, Becky and Homan.
After the ride we took a drive up to Grandfather Mountain. The views were amazing!!
Then we took a short hike under the Blue Ridge Parkway. One of the most cherished and widely retold stories in recent North Carolina History is the tale of the Blue Ridge Parkway's "missing link" and Grandfather Mountain.
Pretty amazing!
This approximately seven-mile section of the road remained uncompleted for two decades after the rest of the Parkway was finished in the late 1960s. It finally opened in 1987, fifty-two years after Parkway construction began in the midst of the Great Depression.
