Just some views of a beautiful spot

 

Following a nicely paved road (I think called Mills River Rd) which has a yellow line down the center until we cam to this one car at a time overpass. I slowed down, and then crept slowly through the one way space. Since there were lots of other cars and trucks going both ways, I had good reason to go slowly, figuring they might be doing the same (hopefully) if anyone was coming from the other side.

Nice to have some picnic tables around...and some that were in the shade were already occupied!

There it was, Andrew's Geyser! It certainly was shooting up some water, which is apparently gravity fed from a pipe with a cutoff further up the mountain.

The pool needed cleaning!

Then there was this strange cloud overhead! So we're sharing this with SkyWatch Friday!

All along the roadside had been a small river, which the road crossed several times. I bet it would have been nice to put our feet in that! Yep, this was an 86 degree afternoon.

Before leaving, once again I took a photo of the description of the battle of the Civil War which was fought, or maybe avoided, near here.

That fence at the top of the hill denotes where the train will run on it's several trips through these mountains from Old Fort to Asheville...starting much further east.

I missed seeing the plaque in honor of this land having been Native American territory before the European people arrived. 

After you devote one day to opening your eyes more fully to the beauty of nature, you may want to make this part of your daily routine. Each day drink from the beauty all around you, and allow it to rejuvenate your entire being. All you have to do is pause, for just one minute, and really take it in, remembering to thank Mother Nature for her beauty.
