We are away from our "homebase" Houston for the first time; and are realizing that, at least for now, Western North Carolina is where our hearts are. Not that we don't miss our Houston friends...a LOT.... but we really love these mountains.
We will be leaving for Houston this coming Sunday; and be there at least two months.. depending on how Charlie does after her surgery.
However, we now know that we don't have to be back here any certain time next spring... because our next years camp host jobs have been "revoked" :-). Really. We were signed up to work at Cascade Lake from April 1 to October 1; but they called and said the campground would not be opening next year!
Actually, its a sad story about a beautiful 1400 acres of forest with two lakes in the middle of it.... which had been willed by a very elderly (rich) gentleman, to be conserved as a park for the public's use... ..... However, after he died in 2010, his heirs contested his sanity (of leaving it to the public), and the lawsuits have been continuing to this very day. So, we don't know for sure, but it seems likely the heirs may have won and it is destined to be developed into (VERY EXPENSIVE) private homes. Too bad !
So, we are not sure what we will be doing next spring, but whatever it is we'll come back thru here in March or April on our way to New York upstate to see Vera's sister Donna.
In the meantime we are having steak on the grille tomorrow for dinner, with friends.
Vera has done a bang up job on Christmas decorations (always a challenge in the motorhome)
