Spent most of the day at the White Squirrel Festival & had a ball. It started with an ensemble doing Japanese drumming, followed every hour by new artists singing, playing, all on the street. Of course there was plenty of junk food & the Craggie Brewery from Asheville had 2 new brews on tap. Both were excellent! One had spruce tips in it. Mmmm, delicious!
The sun bore down on the soap box derby & those little rascals got up to 40mph gliding down that hill. One did a little wobbling & threatened to turn over. Not to worry - they were very safety conscious, with roll bars, helmets, hay bales, old tires & EMT's every 10 feet.
The heat got to me so I took off for sliding rock, knowing it would be cool & packed & it was both. There was a long line waiting to slide. I watched for quite a while, realizing that I liked watching people being shocked by the cold water for the first time. It's breathe taking, that's for sure. The expressions on their faces are priceless!
(I'm on the porch of the house for pancakes, second day in a row. The mom does the cooking & the family takes care of keeping the supplies flowing. There's music playing & people coming d& going, a very festive little place. The folks who run this place are so friendly. I like it here.)
On my way home a big Honda Goldwing cycle decided to pass me, even though I was going the speed limit (55) or a little more. I easily stayed up with him on the flats & even through the curves up hill. I even had to back off a time or 2. When he turned off, I honked & waved & he didn't.
