These ducks in Asheville after a wonderful lunch at White Duck Taco were part of an excellent day just over a year ago. Visiting the Asheville area after Hurricane Helene several months earlier was a bit tough to take in some respects. Sharing time with others in the overshoot community is always a good time.
This is a mountainside just across from the rest area on US 74 between Balsam and Waynesville, North Carolina. I have posted about Balsam Mountain before here and here, and although it isn't very far away, it is different from Balsam, the town. Spring is a wonderful time of new beginnings; enjoy!
Amicalola Falls State Park was featured here before, but I had never stayed at the campground here before. As can be seen in the first post, this park is absolutely gorgeous. For anyone who likes waterfalls, the park is perfect and one can find plenty to do to keep themselves busy centering on the falls. Besides the falls (729 feet high!), the park also has a number of trails and other outdoor entertainment (zipline, anyone?). This is a smaller campground (24 sites) and there isn't a whole lot of privacy as these pictures show, but we still had a good time here.
Heritage Point Regional Park in Dalton, Georgia, is a lovely place to entertain yourself or just have a picnic. As you can see, the day was turning out to be picture perfect! There were few other people at the park during our lunch which seemed odd given the nice weather. The park has a wonderful open-air pavilion with a stage, concession area, picnic tables, and bathrooms.
