While looking at a sketch map of Fontana Village, I noticed a road exiting the back that looked interesting, so off I went. It was used so little that it was covered in leaves, rocks, sticks & stuff. I half expected to see a bear around the next curve! It took me across the ridge & down to Tocoa, on the river below another dam. There was a very isolated boat ramp, camping area & dock that looked seldom used. It was so quiet there I could hear my own breath.
At the river I saw several kayakers braving the high, fast waters that had been released from the dam. It was thrilling watching them shoot the rapids, disappear for a moment then pop up down stream. Now THAT's adventure!
From there I went up to Deal's Gap to the motorcycle gathering place & saw the cool vehicle pictured here with the eagle painted on it. I had to take a pic. Forgot to ask what it's called, but it has a steering wheel. What a gorgeous ride! The lady in it was pretty, too.
Last night there was a talent show at the Village, which was so much fun. People doing goofy things & just laughing & having a good time. The son of my camp ground friend, Penny, held his breath for a long time & the look on his face was hilarious! Some folks danced, some sang, some told stories, good & bad. I regretted not having practiced my magic tricks & have vowed to do so. They're a lot of fun & were enjoyed by me & others. Probably more me, but that's okay, too. I love the one where I sniff the rubber band up my nose then spit it out! They always made LaVerne laugh, too. Life is good!
