Early snow in Mars Hill

 

Took a drove up to Mars Hill this morning to see the snow they recieved..It looked like they had about 2.5-3 inches and the snow was still falling..

 

Lake Susan at Montreat College

On this day kristie and i took a ride over to montreat..We got out and scrolled around the campus and visited the book store..

Top of Doggett Mountain

This is the top of Doggett mountain in Madison county NC.. On the leicester side is the steeper side and the Trust/Spring creek side, it's longer but not as steep..This is a very nice mountain to visit..

What happened to Lake Junaluska?

On the way to Maggie Valley a few weeks ago, Kristie and I passed Lake Junaluska.. To our surprise almost all of the water was out of it..Doing work to the lake? They're definately doing something to it..

Maggie Valley Landslide

This is the tail end of the Maggie Valley landslide..We wanted to see the main part of the slide but it was closed off to the public and by seeing a couple of trucks on the side of the road, we thought people was up there working..

Out and About in the Snow Again

Kristie and I were out running some errands.. Although we heard that we was suppose to get some snow, we didn't expect moderate snowfall along with sleet so soon in the day..

Big Pine Mountain Graveyard

A friend of mines told me about this hidden graveyard in the Big Pine community which is deep in Madison county..This graveyard is where her parents was buried..It was on top of a mountain all by itself.. For some reason i really wanted to find this place so we decided to give it a shot..




After miles of riding, i finally found my landmark..

This road was narrow, rocky and very steep in places..A fourwheel drive is highly recommended..

After we finally got to the top, we found what we were looking for..

This is an old graveyard but kept fairly well maintained..

This was one of the older tombstones..

This was on the way out..

The Farm Fair in Brevard

On saturday morning, Kristie and I went to the farm fair in Brevard and we had a wonderful time!! Enough said- enjoy the photos.. :>)

Getting to the End of Summer...

Coleman Boundary (Big Ivy)

Saturday Kristie and i went for a little drive towards one of our favorite areas- Barnardsville..We drove until we came to Big Ivy.. I've been to this point before but never went no further then the entrance UNTIL this day!! Read the General Info about the area..

This object in the photo below struck both of us as odd.. It looks like a piece of sheet metal right in the middle of the ravine.. It was very shiny and metalic looking..We ruled out water and we debated about a vehicle or an appliance of some sort.. But anyhow, we knew that it wasn't suppose to be there.. This was very srange to us..

Morning Ride to the Parkway..

One late morning Kristie and I took a ride to the Blueridge parkway from Reems Creek rd on the other side of Weaverville.. Surprisingly it took less than 30 minutes from Mars Hill..
