Adventure Village and Lodgings, Brevard, N. Carolina

The last two weeks of our visit in Brevard continued with hiking and biking activities. We spent some time in Pisgah National Forest on some great hikes. My sister Cindy and nephew Cliff came to visit for a couple of days. We enjoyed a great hike in Pisgah on the Slick Rock Waterfall trail. At the trails end was a huge rock wall where we watched climbers. On their last day visiting, we hiked along the waterfalls at Living Waters. This series of cascading waterfalls are amazing and make for great photography. Cindy and Cliff truly enjoyed this hike. The dogs also enjoyed this trail and were able to get in the water to cool off.

We also continued to enjoy the challenging trails in Dupont State Park. We both realized that our climbing skills are improving while here, actually there is no option as all trails go uphill first! Which makes the downhill ride a blast!

For July 4th holiday, we traveled down to Seneca, S. Carolina to visit our friends Jim and Sharon at their beautiful home on Lake Keowee. They took us out on the boat for a day trip and then again later that evening to watch various firework shows around the lake. What a great way to spend Independence Day!

We have really fallen in love with the Brevard area and are considering looking for some land there. We would like to build out the utilities, fencing and hook ups for two RVs. That would allow us to have our own private space when we come up here to the mountains. Plus it’s a great investment for the future, the property values are continuing to rise as more southerners move up to the mountain towns.

Well, on to our next stop in Bryson City, N. Carolina! Another favorite place in the mountains.
