Yellow Creek Falls is the name of the one I finally found on Friday. It was a challenge just locating it, then the climb was an even bigger one. It was steep & rocky & when I got there, I got a strike on the first cast. Got lots of strikes, but no fish. The water didn't look yellow to me, but it sure wasn't clear. What another beautiful piece of paradise!
Ever since I bought my helmet I've been looking for decals to spice it up a bit & finding nothing. But the red dragons looked pretty cool, especially along with the white ones on the scooter. I earned 'em so I'm gonna show 'em!
Yesterday I went to Asheville to discover I was a month early for Bele Cher. But I still enjoyed watching the USA play a pretty good soccer game. Found a great seat at Pack Tavern & enjoyed a new summer beer from Newcastle. Delicious! I watched with a very nice fellow name Juan, from Spain, his brother Jose & their friend Peter from Germany. These guys really knew the game & it was so informative listening to them until the noise level got too high to hear them.
There was an Art in the Park going on in town, so that was fun to cruise. It was a very hot day so the water park area was a big hit.
Will probably spend time at Deal's Gap people watching today, as it ought to be a good one.

  1. Your pictures are getting better and better. Nice shots of the lake. Is the top one the river beside your home? I thought Belle Cher was in July but at least you got to the USA game. Our defense was suspect for reason. A lot of the water in the streams in the Smokies are are tainted with tannins from decaying wood. Another effect of life in the rain forest. Thank goodness it doesn't bother the fish.

  2. Hi Fred. This is Cathy here in Ashe County on the 2nd day of my wonderful forced vacation which I am SO grateful for- I would never take 10 days off from the City Club but since I have a "required" UTO week I am once again back in Alan's mountains which I just love!

    I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE JOINIG US NEXT WEEKEND! This will be great-the 3 muskateers together again. Like Alan, I have missed you and I know we will have a wonderful time when you arrive. I just read your blogs from June forward and have enjoyed doing so very much. I truly admire you for taking on this adventure and you continue to teach me through your words and actions how to just "BE" and enjoy life. I think I will always be a student in this realm but between you and Alan I hope to continue learning by doing.

    Can't wait to share my wonderful memories of Ppestem where you'll be soon - I've been 3 times and can maybe give you some great ideas of what to do- and where to dine. Yes- you can actually dine at Pipestem as opposed to just "eat"- but more on that when you arrive.

    Much love and several saved hugs for you when you arrive!

    Cathy
