#8: Vacation time!

 Got a friend down for a visit, and we've gone to see a few things.

Up at the top!

We went cruising around Friday, and since neither of us had been to Blowing Rock in Boone, we swung by there. It was hazy but the view was still nice. 

A watery respite.

After that, we went wandering up through the mountains and found some people parked by the side of the road. After finding a place to park ourselves, we climbed down and found this. It was a popular swimming hole, judging by the number of people up top who took turns jumping in.

Linville Falls

Saturday I got talked into riding with my friend on his motorcycle. He spotted signs for Linville Falls, so off we went. I had been there but it had been a while. It was quite humid.

Table Rock off in the distance.

We also found a little overlook thing, built off the side of the mountain. Still hazy, but that's the "Smoky" mountains for you. 

More to come!
