one Big rock

We made an overnite trip to Burlington, NC (about 4 hours east of our campground) to take a camp host friend to her parents home to pick up some of her belongings.  At the moment she doesn't have a car.  Anyway, like I mentioned before .... we will seize any oportunity to travel a bit on the Blue Ridge Parkway .... so we went a little out of our way on the return trip to travel about 50 miles on a portion we have not been on before.  We saw some small hills that are almost nothing but solid granite outcropings ..... one big rock !

And the valleys near Ashville are so pretty:

A couple more camp hosts have arrived ..... spreading the work out is always better .... we have been really busy the last couple of weekends.
There are 14 host campers, and most of them are couples .... so there are about 26 people here now who are working 4 hour shifs, 3 days on and 3 days off.  There is a small "swimming" lake with a beach, paddle boats, and a beach concession that some of the people work.  Then there are the canoe rentals down on the "big" lake, where some people work.  There is the gatehouse, where Charlie works ... and the store where I work.  Then there are two couples who signed on to do nothing but clean the bath houses.
And we have a 'meeting'..... with food  :)  ...... weekly, and many other times small groups get together around someone's campfire.

 

We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
Later,
