Re: The Wonders of Arava & NC

[Guest guest]

Sue, the waterfall sounds gorgeous! We were visiting friends last

fall in Concord, NC, and the drive from Indiana through the Smokeys

was so beautiful. I only wish we could have taken more time to

explore along the way. I could see some beautiful little valleys,

but no place to pull off the highway to look. I hope to come back

and have time to explore the area. I agree, Tess could probably

describe it in living detail!

Thanks for sharing, and glad you are getting relief.

Way to go, Sue! Sounds like you had a marvelous time. I'm so happy that

you were able to walk and climb to see the falls.

That gets around. A few years ago, I ate dinner at the

table next to him in New Orleans. My then husband had no idea who he

was.
