For the second year in a row, we headed west for our Labor Day weekend. After two years at the same campground beside the same beautiful river at the base of the same gorgeous mountain, I am qualified to say that the area around Chimney Rock and Lake Lure is one of the greatest places on earth and you should definitely go. In fact, you are welcome to join us next Labor Day weekend as it has been suggested that we should make this a tradition.
Mom and Dad, if you bring the rain canopy, we'll bring the inner tubes.
One of our fellow campers was standing stones like this one upright on the boulders. It was amazing.
Another fun memory: the folks in the cabin across the river decided one evening to build a bonfire and burn anything and everything, including a pile of green foliage, some plywood sheets, and the latticework from the side of their deck. It was both entertaining and slightly frightening.

We've been wanting to do a mountain trip - this place sounds great. I'll get some details from you so we can try it...
ReplyDeleteWe just took at trip to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure a few weeks ago. It was SO beautiful. We loved it. We didn't camp though, we rented a time share :-)
