Girls Camp 2010

This year I was ask to go to girl camp about 3 weeks
before it started. To say the least it was a rush to
get things done before it started.
We had 4 girls in our ward that went. It was a good
time, although the first 2 days we had rain, thunderstorms
and lighting. So to say the least we had wet things
to dry out, and a few tents to put back up.
Some wore wet shoe for a while,but all was good.
These pictures are kind of in backwards order but]
I'm being to lazy to straighten them out.
Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the
activities they did.

Our Getaway to Sapphire Valley, N.C.

John and I were able to get away together
about 3 weeks ago and we headed to Sapphire,
North Carolina. We stayed in a Time Share there.
This is a beautiful area with tons of waterfalls, We
got to around 9 or 10 of them. We had a wonderful
time spending time together and seeing all this beauty.
Thought I would share some of it with you. If
you ever get a chance to go here it is well worth
the trip. We plan on going again.

Narrow Falls

Bottom of Narrow Falls.

This is a snake that we saw on the road, we thought
it was alive but it turned out to be dead.


Whitewater Falls

John and I at Whitewater Falls

Beautiful flower close to the Falls.

This is a picture of John at Rainbow Falls.
We hiked in about 1 1/2 miles which was mostly
hill. After you got there the spray from the Falls
Cooled you and you didn't want to leave.

This is a picture of sliding rock, but not the one we
are use to going to, it's another one that we found.
Don't think it's much for sliding down though.
Looks as if you would kill yourself doing so.
Kind of rough.

Cullasaja Falls

This is Cullasaja Falls. It was just off the road.
This was a couple of guys that were walking down to
the falls.
Picture of the Cullasaja Gorge that we traveled
through while looking for some of the water falls.



Bridal Veil Falls


Bridal Veil Falls. You can drive behind this
waterfall. It had a lot more water than
last time we were here.

Bridal Veil Falls. If you kids remember this is
the falls we went to a couple of years ago that
had very little water coming down it when they
had the drought.

This is Bald Rock Mtn.
This is sunset Rock Overlook, it overlooks the
town of Highlands. We decided to have our lunch
here and just look at the beautiful scenery.
This is a Trail that we went up trying to find Bald Rock Mtn.
We went up about 2 miles and never found it so we headed
back down.
