Wow, amazing what a good night’s sleep will do for a person! Slept like a rock for almost 12 hours. Got a little cold a couple times as the temperature was in the low 30’s, but warmed up quickly as the sun came up. Today was a gorgeous day!

Here’s some photos of what we saw today. Tomorrow, we pack up and head to Elizabethtown, KY.

First, I thought I would pop up a photo of what I won at the race yesterday. Cool that I actually got a nice certificate that says I won. The cup was hand-made by the autistic adults at Full Spectrum Farms.

Overlooking un-named falls from the Iron Bridge just south of Highlands.

Whitewater Falls. 400 plus feet of awesome!

Finally found out the name of these falls. This is the Silver Run Falls located on NC107.

This is what you see when you get to the city limits of Highlands.

Bridal Veil Falls. You can pull off the road and drive under the falling water.

Dry Falls. Located just past Bridal Veil on Hwy 64. You can walk behind the gushing water and stay mostly dry.

Lucky you, I found a cool feature that lets me schedule when to publish my posts. So, you get a photo today even though I am away from the computer! Today is another tease of where we will be this weekend. We are not sure of the name of this waterfall as we found it while looking for another. These falls are on SC 107 on the way to Whitewater Falls (which is awesome at over 400 feet). To get to the falls, there is a small parking area on the side of the road and you hike a half mile or so back to the falls. You can actually swim there in the summer as the pool is not deep.

I think I will show you one of the places we will be this weekend when we travel to North Carolina and Kentucky. Cullasaja Falls is one of our favorites. The falls are located in between Franklin and Highlands and can easily be viewed by pulling off the road on Hwy 64. The flow of the falls was pretty slow compared to normal in this shot. Hopefully, there will be more flow this time.

I doubt I will be on the computer Friday and we are leaving Friday night. The campgrounds we are staying at say they have Wi-Fi. So, if that works, then I will be able to post updates each night.

Surprise!! Here is another photo of Jenny with me at Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina.

For the last installment of the “Jenny” series, here is Jenny perched high above Linville Gorge overlooking the beautiful Linville Falls near Linville, NC.

Here is a lovely photo of Jenny sitting on a boulder at the top of Glenn Falls just south of Highlands, NC. Hope you are enjoying this week’s series of “Jenny” photos requested by the “Kentucky Opossum Queen”!

If Jenny was a wild animal, this would be her natural habitat.

Another photo for Barb in keeping with the theme of showing Jenny in the photo! This is Mingo Falls located in the Smoky Mountains National Park a short drive from Cherokee, NC.
