Leann’s putting on the boots for another hike. This park was pretty basic but it grew on us and we will probably return.

Pettigrew had some of the biggest Sycamore trees I have ever seen

I realized looking at the pictures for this trip that we walk on a lot of boardwalks.

Phelps Lake

When you least expect it………
We were just walking down the trail and Leann said :BEAR! She was right. It was a young one so we worried about big mamma showing up but he/she was by themself. It was probably a year old and mom kicked him out of the house.
Seeing a bear is the only reason this park made the list.


I took this picture and made a point to just show the sky. Reminded me of a University of North Carolina saying: if God is not a tarheel, why is the sky Carolina blue?

HAPPY CAMPING, STEVE
