Not so Dry Falls

Today was almost an extra day as we got here a day earlier than planned, so a nice lay in and a cooked breakfast to start the day.

We took a drive to The Nantahaia National Forest, in our quest to visit every waterfall in the USA.
We found these minor roadside falls, with rocks below to be climbed.

Our destination the strangely named "Dry Falls".

The roads leading into the miniscule car park were blocked in both directions, with cars queueing to park and pay their $3 to view this exciting attraction.

At the base of the falls Ian took his yearly shower, It was possible to walk right behind the falls, the icy spray catching you in places.

Another Beautiful end of summer day in North Carolina,

After spending a little time at the falls, we treked back up to the heaving car park, followed by many expectant eyes, wanting our coveted parking space.

As it is Labour day weekend everywhere is very busy. We headed for the town of "Highland", very pretty and lots of interesting little shops to browse.

We stopped for ice cream at Kilwins Ice Cream shop, better get on with the photo before someone eats mine too!

Back for our last cabin night, big decisions do we barbeque? Or cook indoors to save ourselves from the bugs.

Goodnight Dear reader. Hope your bedbugs aren't the bitey kind xx
