My travels with Charlie- North Carolina- Oct, 2006

It had been several years since we had made a trip in the fall to see the leaves! It was long overdue! ...So we planned a trip for about a week, starting Oct. 21st....mainly to see some of these!



...And we saw a LOT of them! In fact, we have never been so lucky as to to hit it just right in our past trips! It was peak season for autumn color, starting in the south. (of NC ) Even in the North part of South Carolina, it was quite colorful!

We left home early on Saturday and took our time traveling up through Georgia and SC, arriving at my sister and brother-in-laws house late in the afternoon. They live in Forest City, which is not far over the SC line, in the western half of the state. They are not in the mountains but within easy driving distance of some very fine views. We spent the night and following day and night with them and had a really fun time. They took as sightseeing on Sunday to all the surrounding areas of interest! (Which was EVERYWHERE for C. and me!) We saw some beautiful scenery at Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Park! We also went to a waterfall! We all walked at least a mile up the path to see the main beginning of it!
