Boone

Walked up the hill again before breakfast. As I got closer to the building at the top I could hear chanting. There were clearly a lot of people there but not many in the grounds. After breakfast we drove to Moses H Cone Historical Park for another hike. This one was a bit longer - 9 km!!!! We took a wrong turn at one point and had to retrace our steps for quite a ways. There were rhododendrons the entire length of the trail but these are a later-flowering variety and weren't out yet. There was some mountain laurel out - very delicate white flowers. The trail came out at a lake half way and the sight of the old house from the lake was beautiful. Although it was tiring ( the last few steps to get to the toilets at the end were the killer!) it was a fantastic day. Early to bed for everyone tonight!
Some shots of the House and the walk along the trail.Read more
