Lake Norman

We made a windy passage from Asheboro to Denver, NC, about a two and half hour ride. It was very gusty the whole way. Many people in the area have been without power as the heavy rains and wind have knocked down trees all over. After setting up, we grabbed a bar b q lunch and took a tour around the west shore of the lake. Lake Norman is large, man made and has coves and pennisulas everywhere, which means all kinds of lake front. The area is highly developed with some very upscale housing. Fishing and boating everywhere. There's a bass tourney on this week, so motels, hotels, and camp sites are bustling. Hope to see the rest of the lake area and the Newton area today, then leave for the mountains tomorrow.
