Hiking in NC Mountains
Went on a hiking trip today. We drove North-West out of Charlotte - about 2 hours. Our first stop was in Linville, NC. We hiked some of the Linville Waterfall Trails. Saw some amazing views. (See pictures above) I love to be surrounded by God's creations, as he intended.
From there, we drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway to Grandfather Mountain. We stopped and chatted with the lady working the gate and got some 'local tips'. Took some pictures of a couple of deer (since my Florida friend was somewhat amazed with them. Our deer are their gators...)
We headed to Blowing Rock, and ate lunch at Canyons of the Blue Rige. Great views. From there, we drove down the hill and stopped in Boone. We stopped at their visitor's center and again, picked up some info from the locals. They recommended a Cheese Factory in West Jefferson. It was a bit out of our way, (further north) but it was free, and Cori and I love cheese! :) (Sorry Sami.) I asked the visitor's center guy for the actual address (the brochure only gave the street name), and he assured me that there was only 2 streets in West Jefferson - and only one cheese factory - I couldn't miss it. We didn't! It was really more of a cheese store than an factory, but we got a good laugh out of the silliness of the journey. After I bought some Smoked Cheddar, we loaded up and headed back to Charlotte.
It really was a fun day, in the mountains of North Carolina.

Pray
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your strength. Pray for strength equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
