What a day. We got up early this morning. It was way too cold and too mountainy for me to go for a walk. We just had breakfast and hooked up. The maps of this area are not great. We wandered around quite a bit before we found the visitor center for the Great Smokey Mountains. By then we had seen quite a bit of the mountains already. We decided to take the drive along the Blue Mountain Ridge. It was quite beautiful. Parts of it reminded me of home. It looked a little like being in Estacada, right at the foothills of the Cascades.
We then drove through Asheville and found a delightful campground. This is one with all of the hookups, but it is still camping. It is on a pretty steep hillside and they have used the hills to create a sense of privacy for each campsite. We spent the day just relaxing, grocery shopping and enjoying the great view. The sun is out, but it is a little chilly - about 65 degrees. It is supposed to get warmer each day for the next few days. The plan is to spend a day in Asheville and then who knows. Maybe we will just stay here for another day and maybe we will move on.
This is the kind of day that I actually expected that we would have more of. A day without plans and just waiting to see what happens. When we are able to allow ourselves not to plan we find that we discover some wonderful things. Sigh!!!
looks and sounds beautiful!!!
