But this past week, we took a real vacation. A check-into-alternate-lodging-and-stay-an-entire-week vacation. Not driving five or six hours one way, spending one day trying to get in as much as we can, and then backtracking the next. It was grand, and we had a great time in Bryson City hiking and biking the roads and trails there.
I'm still sorting through photos, though I only took 249 for the week. I plan to have at least one post up on Carolina Towns and Trails this week, and after I work on my novel, I'll write a few more.
Hint, our trip involved encounters with elk, a bear, and a young man climbing up, then slipping down, a waterfall.
