Waynesville NC last 2 weeks in July

We start out for a ride to see the progress on opening Mingo Falls.  First we stopped at Mingus Mill




Headed to Mingo Falls and glad to see the Elk have learned to cross at the crosswalks.


Unfortunately the Falls was still closed.nnhopefullyntheynwillnreopen before or friends head back to Tucson.

We do another ride to the Juney Whank Falls in the Deep Creek section of Great Smokey Mountain National Park 


We go through Bryson City



Along the Tukasegee river



Its a short but uphill hike 





Worth the hike









We stop for lunch


Then continue on to the road to nowhere also in the Deep Creek section


When the area Towns were flooded by the Fontana Dam, submerging their main road, they promised that a new road  would be provided to give them access to the old family cemeteries where generations of ancestors remained behind. They encountered "environmental issues" that would have made finishing the Road "too costly".


Me thinks they had already spent a whole bunch, it's a beautiful 6 mile ride.




And a really nice tunnel



I even find mushrooms on Tunnel hikes!



Carol and I venture to the top

Hello down there!


Back home and enjoy a blue grass jam session

Cannot believe another month has gone by!
