Hey, Rocky!  
Let's tell my friends
 about our trip to the
​North Carolina and Georgia mountains. 

"If a dose of tranquility is what you seek--Go park beside a mountain creek--Sharing your friendship is the way to go--So reach out your hand and say "Hello"-- A goodwill gesture should never offend--But turn a stranger into a friend--To view wildlife in our world today--You sometimes have to go out of your way--To reach the wilderness where the Elk are kept--There are sometimes dangers we must accept--In maintaining our health we should all eat fruit--That is a fact i do not dispute--But fruit doesn't have to come from a tree--It can be sweetly created by you and me--Kind words of encouragement in a time of need--Can be just as healthy, yes indeed--Among the beautiful moments that i do recall--Is the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall--The joys you are sharing will never bring sorrows--Just precious memories for all your tomorrows!!"

We enjoyed time with friends along
​Jonathan Creek in Waynesville, N. C. 

A trip to the mountains would not be complete without buying APPLES!!!
Mom will serve them EVERY DAY!

Highlights of Waynesville, N.C. feature Old Time Music and the Mast General Store. 

We traveled on a treacherous road
to get to Cataloochee Valley 
to see ELK.
People with "side of the road" phobia should BEWARE!!!
DON'T DO IT --- wait to see elk when they come out on DVD!

This is where we stayed --- Creekwood Farm RV Park, Waynesville, N. C.  

We toured the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was "almost heaven"!!!

Kinda tricky to get down to see the falls.  But, Papa & Mom were determined.
​  Worth the trip, don't you think?

Our visit to the Dillard House was a memorable one.  Look at all that FOOD!
My brother, Fritz, and I got some tips on how to be hand feed ---
​just open your mouth and let the food pour in!

Until my next adventure . . .
