Here's the private cabin we stayed in our first night at the Salzburg Guest House Bed and Breakfast at Lake Lure in North Carolina.
The main house.
This is where we ate a scrumptious breakfast including, fruit, pastries, juice, lighter-than-air yogurt, and a delight called Strammer Max (toast topped with Black Forest ham, Swiss cheese and a fried egg) and apple strudel.
This is Lake Lure, a man-made lake in the shape of a cross. The moive Dirty Dancing was filmed here at a Boy Scout camp.
Lake Lure.
We drove through Hickory Nut Gorge.
To see Chimney Rock...a 315 foot monolith.
This is where parts (at least the last 17 minutes) of Last of the Mohicans was filmed.
We climbed to the top for great views...part of Lake Lure.
Lots of steep stairs.
Flag on top.
Looking down into Hickory Nut Gorge.
From Vista Viewpoint.
Looking back up.
Mountain Laurel, I think.
Back in town for an ice cream cone...can you see Chimney Rock in the background?
Enjoying Moose Tracks.
Good old chocolate. Our first day of vacation was one of our favorites, probably because the weather was so perfect...blue sky and sunshine after so much cold and wet and gray in Utah.
We spent the rest of the day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is one of America's most scenic drives. It goes through North Carolina and Virginia, 469 miles. There are no towns or gas stations or anything on the road, just lots of scenery and a speed limit of 45mph. Evidently it's very crowded in the fall when the leaves are changing.
A quilt callled "Snake Eyes" in the Folk Craft Center just off the Parkway.
More quilts and lamps.
Items made from natural materials.
We hiked to Linville Falls.
Stream.
Big drop.

Wow! Amazing quilts. I like the green & white one with the leafy pattern the best. I think that's one crafty I don't think I'll ever take up. Chimney Rock is so nifty!
Gorgeous scenery... The Linville Falls hike looked awesome. 450 miles at 45mph is 10hours (I went to college). Why so slow? Looks like you had a great day, great weather!
More good food, really beautiful nature, and cool crafties...FUN! Hickory nut gorge looks like a great place to hike! Looks like the weather was really nice too.
