Lake Susan & Cherry Blossoms

Montreat College and conference center, is nestled up the valley where Flat Creek flows from mountain slopes...into first Lake Susan, then eventually into the Swannanoa river.

Spring at the lake

Not as many people walking around the lake at 2 pm, (last Thursday) and it's a bit cloudy when I did this half around walk. Didn't feel up to the whole way, so I went 1/4 way, then turned around and came back. That adds up to half around, right?

Anyway, the little red roofed YMCA building in the distance just barely showed over the trees by the lake.

 There were ome visitors who asked me what it was, the YMCA Assembly building for conferences. I didn't mention that it had also once been part of the Black Mountain College.  Sometimes you know more than tourists want to know.

 Cherry trees are starting to bloom.
