Lynne and Jim had never gone white water rafting so we all went on an easy trip (class I - III) down the Watauga River with High Mountain Expeditions.
It was a lovely day and we had lots of fun.
The next day our first stop was Blowing Rock which is a really nice town and is also a well-known tourist attraction.
Lynne and Anna just HAD to climb up on it.
The views up there are spectacular!
The flowers weren't bad either.
We also drove to Linville Springs and hiked to the views of the waterfalls.
This very short Youtube video shows the lower cascade. If you look carefully, on the bottom right you can see people on "the beach". We have no idea how they managed to get down there!
When we returned to the campground we experienced a 45 minute downpour. We were all stayed snug in our camper until the sun came back out. And L&J's new tent passed its first water test with flying colors.
