Western N.C.

Road over from Pigeon Forge yesterday looking for a campground just north of the town of Cashiers. A really, really mountainous area. Far and away the most challenging roads we have traveled while pulling the rv. Anyway, we were looking for Singing Waters Campground and followed this winding road off the main road up into the hills. Finally found it, but the owner had sold it to a developer and it won't be opening. Fortunately, after we got turned around, a guy who works for the development company rode by and directed us to another place, Moonshine Creek Campground just off the Blueridge Parkway. It's a gorgeous place and once again we are right on a babbling mountain creek. We're in the gem area where some rubies, emeralds, and opals etc. are mined. Will investigate today.
