First Trip 2018 viewsBJ made her first trip to the bottom of Linville Gorge. She sure was a great hiking pal.

Actually she had no trouble and we had energy to see the Plunge Pool.

If you are reasonably fit and visiting Western North Carolina, you should go down to the gorge. After the crowds go home and during the work week this is a wonderful place to sit in awe of what time and water has wrought.

My Iron Man Is A Woman1945 viewsMy Granddaughter competing and winning a local bike race.

She is my Iron Man (iron Woman) because she finished Iron Man Louisville.

A little more effort and she may be able to qualify as an "Old Albatross" crew member.

Ghost Fisherman2259 viewsUse your imagination! I see a ghostly fisherman, kind of looking to his left, rod raised, kind of a pin head though.

So, what do you see, and don't say an odd little waterfalls?
